Engaging critically with your literature: reading, writing and referencing productively in Part II (Biological Sciences)

New

This live session is designed to build your skills in reading and assessing research articles for your Part II studies in Biological Sciences. We will cover how to approach reading for different purposes, apply different reading strategies, and critically evaluate articles. We will also spend some time on managing what you’ve read (or not yet read) and writing your literature review, including how to select items to include and reference them properly. There will be activities and discussions throughout the session so you can try your new skills and ask any questions you may have.

Please note: the session on 17 November 2020 is for students taking a focused Genetics route for Part II. Please refer to other dates if you are not taking a Genetics route.

We will be using Zoom to conduct the session so please ensure you have it installed ahead of the session. A link will be sent out as part of your booking confirmation. If you require any help before the session, such as accessibility support, please email our Deputy Librarian (Biological Sciences), George Cronin (gmp36@cam.ac.uk), for further assistance.
