Tutorials
As this course focuses on developing and
improving writing skills, tutorials will mainly comprise
writing workshops. After the introductory tutorial session,
for the first couple of tutorials we will have sessions
in the library that will address the basics of research
skills and referencing. In the third session we will discuss
the layout of a paper and what is expected of students
for their written assignments. In the fourth session and
in subsequent sessions, we will do in-class writing exercises.
These will include examining examples of book reviews,
film reviews and policy papers and understanding how they
are constructed. By the fifth session we will start to
critique each other’s
work. Selected essays will be circulated to the other tutorial
members, and suggestions will be made as to how to improve
the essay, as well as acknowledgement given for work that
is well done. |
