PhD writing skills workshops: Improving your PhD thesis writing style

This popular series of workshops has been specially designed to support the writing development of higher research degree candidates at Massey University. The workshops are presented by learning advisors from the Centre for Teaching and Learning who are experienced in supporting doctoral students through each stage of their writing process. In addition, there is a session facilitated by Massey University’s librarians that covers how to create and structure long documents, as well as tips on using Endnote.

This workshop includes:

  • Improving your writing style
  • Identifying and mastering the 3 Cs: clarity, concision, and coherence in your thesis
