A 30-day graduate writing programme in which you will begin and complete a chapter of your thesis under close supervision. The course is based on the well-established principle of writing a page a day, under supervision, supported by interactive classes on planning, structuring, editing, revising and referencing your work. You will also receive regular feedback, including one-to-one consultation and guidance on questions of grammar, style and argument arising from your work. The group will meet for 90 minutes every day: this will include

writing a page a day
weekly one-on-one feedback
instruction in language, style and structure
regular training in reading and assimilating research articles
revision and editing

Requirements:

You will need to be able to make a commitment to the daily meeting.
You should have submitted your proposal to the faculty.
You will need to supply an annotated reference list of all the books and articles you have already consulted, as well as a one-page report on the last three books you have read for pleasure. To apply to be selected, please send the above info with your student details to Professor Houliston.

This workshop has two components. PART 1 (2 hours) comprises formal training on research ethics, with a particular emphasis on social science research. This training is content-based. There is a formal written assignment following this workshop.

Successful completion of this assignment will allow for a Certificate of Competence in Research Ethics to be issued.

PART 2 (1 hour) describes how to apply for ethics clearance to the main university or to school ethics committees.

This workshop will be relevant to Honours, Masters and PhD students dealing with human subjects in their research project.

Presented by Prof. Jasper Knight.
