At Part 1 of the Postgraduate Writing Workshop new and current students are eased into the idea of academic writing at the postgraduate level. They are provided with a step by step guide to approaching assessments and equipped with the skills to navigate the assessment brief and question, understand the examiner’s expectations, determine the type of writing suitable and ultimately begin preparing an assessment. They also obtain supplemental guidance on the fundamentals of the body of knowledge, valuable and reliable research sources, paraphrasing, citation and referencing, synthesising and critical writing.
