Writing an Abstract
The focus of this Workshop is how to write a good abstract in English for a paper and the content of the course can also be applied to abstracts for PhD dissertations. The workshop is 3 hours in length and covers:
- content criteria: what information should be included
- tense use in abstracts
- active vs passive verb usage
- typical expressions used
- how to peak interest to motivate the reading of the paper
This is a practical workshop and participants will be encouraged to bring in both an abstract to a published article in their research field as well as one that they have written. There will be the opportunity to deconstruct these abstracts, and receive feedback from other participants in the group.
Please note:
Participation is subject to the successfully passed public presentation of your dissertation project.
