The aim of all the writing courses is to gain control over your writing; together we will understand that academic writing is a skill that everyone can command. The key to this control is to identify and practice a writing process that works for you. In these courses we discuss fundamental writing skills and apply them to a specific writing process.

In shorter courses, we will concentrate on these fundamental writing skills. These fundamentals include ideas about editing and cutting clutter, as well as structure and flow in our writing and how we can plan an outline.  We also talk through the writing process that everyone can apply to their own academic writing so that we can reduce frustration, burn-out and the dreaded writer’s block. This process is made even more bullet-proof by the power of peer-to-peer feedback.

Longer courses provide a deep dive into writing, fostering a supportive atmosphere of peer feedback that extends beyond the course for sustained progress.
