Academic Writing in the Natural and Life Sciences: Towards Organisation and Motivation
Inhalte
This workshop takes a comprehensive approach to the writing process by offering a broader perspective that goes beyond traditional technical writing skills.
Participants will not only focus on technical skills like structuring a scientific article or constructing clear and concise sentences, but they will cover also issues of writing productivity, developing habits and mindset, using tools properly to assist them in writing, exploring self-management techniques for staying motivated throughout the writing process and discussing the role of procrastination and perfectionism in writing.
By addressing all of these factors in the workshop, participants can gain a more well-rounded understanding of what it takes to be a successful writer.
