Monday, 14 June 2021, 2pm to 3.30pm
This is an optional live session for MSD DPhil students, complementing the online self-directed course ‘Writing a thesis’ in Canvas. This two-part course is designed for those in the final or second-to-last year of their DPhil who are preparing to write their thesis.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Live sessions will be used to answer questions about the online course, discuss your thesis outline and message, and share thesis writing challenges and solutions.
The online course covers planning, writing, and editing your thesis. By the end of the course (with or without a live session), you will
- Have developed an initial detailed outline of your thesis for discussion with your supervisor
- Have planned a writing schedule that considers your writing speed and style
- Feel ready to write a rough draft of your thesis
- Be confident in revising your own writing for clarity, simplicity, and completeness and in applying feedback.
