In this course, participants will be getting into the writing “flowstate” using a free online tool; essential elements of a good argument; practicing articulating your argument and presenting it to others; and techniques for reviewing your own writing to see if that argument comes through clearly.
Key takeaways
- use of “The Most Dangerous Writing App” for getting into the writing zone;
- the difference between a claim, evidence, and reasoning in making an argument;
- use of reverse-outlining to review existing writing for argument coherence.
Practical information
- Event duration: 45 minutes
- Number of participants: 20
- Target group: This workshop will be appropriate for participants of all academic levels, disciplines, and levels of experience. Participants should ideally have some piece of writing they would like to work on, and bring it (along with a laptop).
