What's in an edit? Strategies to polish your academic writing

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. 

Advance registration is required. 

Do you want to improve the organization of your writing but don’t know where to start? Do your professors or colleagues tell you that your written assignments lack clarity, and you need some help to fix the problem? In the workshop “What’s in an edit? Strategies to polish your academic writing” we explore strategies and techniques that help identify and correct problems with organization and clarity in your writing projects.

In this workshop we will explain proven rewriting strategies and editing techniques including rearranging, adding, and deleting information, as well as evaluating coherence, language adjustment, redundancy, use of adverbs, and transitions in a text. Through various exercises, participants will be able to practice these editing principles and how to apply them in their writing projects.
