Description
This course focuses on helping you improve the accuracy and fluency of
your doctoral writing in order to communicate more successfully with
your readers. You will investigate the different stages of the writing
process, considering precision, cohesion and coherence in your writing,
practising key skills such as summarising. You will become familiar
with tools and strategies to help you work independently on continuing
to improve as a doctoral writer beyond the classroom.
