March is Academic Writing Month!

Each Tuesday:
Academic Writing workshop. Bring your lunch and join us for Academics Anonymous at 12pm and then stay on for the Workshop at 1pm.

• 10-11:30am Consultations. Work with Viveka, one-on-one, on your specific academic writing issues. Book via https://calendly.com/cucsm
• 12pm Academics Anonymous
• 1pm Academic Writing Workshop
  • 1st March: Overcoming Fear of the Blank Page. Bring an upcoming assignment for this session and we will discuss finding effective ways to get started. (Like a geometry proof?)
  • 8th March: Reading and Referencing. Bring an upcoming essay assignment and a paper from your discipline and we will work on purposeful reading and referencing for your writing assignments.
  • 15th March: Description v’s Analysis. Making sure you know the difference, avoid the murky waters of description and maximise your marks through analysis. Including, effective paraphrasing and avoiding red-flags from ‘turn-it-in’ and other academic integrity processes.
  • 22nd March: The Essay Formula. Bring examples of papers in your field to explore the essay formula and expectations in each field.
  • 29th March: The Draft Essay. Work on a skeleton of an essay. We will provide topics and reading fragments to compile. Then we can discuss how to apply this to your upcoming assignments.
• 7pm Reading Circle (via zoom). This month we will focus on purposeful reading for assignment writing.
• Let Viveka know (via v.hocking@cucsnowymonaro.edu.au) if you are interested in attending an Academic Writing workshop so she can keep you updated.
• If you can not attend any of the above times let Viveka know what days/times you are available so she might be able to organise an alternative.
