Feel like you need some assistance in your writing? Most of us, regardless of our degrees and status could benefit from advice from someone who has made it his career to guide people to the next level of their writing ability.
Attend an interactive writing workshop specifically geared to graduate students. This 90 minute session will contextualize the major influences on writing struggles for graduate-level papers, and then feature three elemental areas of sound scholarly writing at the graduate level: organization around a complex and worthwhile purpose, a framed paragraph structure that follows and explores the organizational purpose, and a reassessment of source relationships according to the organizational purpose. The workshop will be conducted by Michael Meinhardt, English Instructor.
The workshop is open to both Master’s and Doctoral students from all disciplines. Registration is required. Send an email to gradschool@luc.edu to reserve your participation. Include your name, academic program, degree pursuing, and add the workshop title in the subject line.
