[University of Manitoba Faculty of Graduate Studies]https://umanitoba.ca/graduate-studies/ ________________________________ GradSteps Workshops
GradSteps are free workshops designed to help graduate students navigate their programs and prepare them to transfer their skills and knowledge into the workplace. Postdoctoral fellows are also welcome to attend GradSteps workshops to continue learning new skills for their careers.
Workshops are a hybrid format of in-person and online. Please check the location carefully when registering.
Planning what to write: Mapping your thesis/dissertation Presenter: Miriam Unruh, Academic Learning Centre
Writer’s block is not caused by a lack of inspiration. Instead, it is caused by insufficient research, lack of organizational planning, and/or negative emotions writers may have about the writing process. Developing an outline and a well-articulated writing plan can help to reduce all three. This hands-on workshop includes a demonstration of several planning techniques, including outlining and reverse outlining, thesis mapping, and the snowflake method. Students will work on developing their plans during the workshop.
Note: This workshop is designed for students who have already started writing their thesis and/or who are planning on attending the writing retreat in May 2024. The material covered in both workshops is the same; however, students are welcome to attend both.
