Writing Your First Year Report (Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences)

Prerequisites

If you’re feeling lost and uncertain about writing your 1st year report – or if you want to become a more effective writer – the course has two objectives in its overall aim of helping you improve the writing of your research:

1) To help you understand:

• the requirements of the 1st year report;
• the writing process;
• your work patterns as a writer.

2) To help you progress your writing, by working through the techniques and topics of:

• Writing warm-ups, to quell your internal editor so you write more freely
• Writing in layers to help you develop an overall structure to your thesis, so that writing feels less daunting and you take a step towards procrastinating.
