Feel like you need some assistance in your writing? Most of
us, regardless of our degrees and status could benefit from advice from someone
who has made it his career to guide people to the next level of their writing
ability.
Attend an interactive writing workshop specifically geared to
graduate students. This 90 minute session will contextualize the major
influences on writing struggles for graduate-level papers, and then feature
three elemental areas of sound scholarly writing at the graduate level:
organization around a complex and worthwhile purpose, a framed paragraph
structure that follows and explores the organizational purpose, and a
reassessment of source relationships according to the organizational purpose.
The workshop will be conducted by Michael Meinhardt, English Instructor. Open to
both Master’s and Doctoral students from all disciplines. (When registering,
please indicate which workshop date you plan to attend.)
