How to Write

PhD students skills seminar

When I was a PhD student, I loved research but hated writing about it. Since then I have attended numerous courses on writing and come to love it. I will pass on the tips and tricks I have learnt over the years. It will also be an opportunity to hear any other views too. This talk is aimed at PhD students, especially those who are “stuck in a rut”, have writer’s block, or are *procrastinating*.NEXT SESSIONS23 FEB Preparing for your PhD Viva

I wish I'd have heard some of this advice a long time ago when doing my PhD! Very useful, and this made me laugh. I found this session really helpful. I applied the technique of writing my third year project proposal by first getting everything down on paper, and then going forward, removing bits, and then sorting out punctuation. I also used the technique of going into finer detail at Facebook “I liked how the talk provided a pathway from a pile of disorganised scribbled notes to a finished paper, via techniques with Powerpoint and Post-It notes, showing us how to organise our thoughts and ideas into a publication. In general, with many of your talks, I really like how you think and lead in with examples, and build up the ideas you're presenting with simple intuitions, stories, anecdotes, and thought experiments.” "It took me years to arrive at some of the conclusions addressed in this tutorial. This kind of advice is great for those starting research academic careers!" "An excellent seminar that has given explanations and solutions to my writing issues"
