Thesis Writing Workshops

Workshop I

The first workshop is designed to help students start thinking about the writing process and link it back to writing they have done for courses, both in the sciences and in other fields. We will discuss how to write for a scientific audience without using field-specific jargon.  We will examine the structure of the introduction and how to transition to the next portion of the thesis.  We will also look at samples of student writing and discuss how to better communicate those ideas in writing.

Workshop II

This workshop will primarily cover how to generate figures using Adobe photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Bring any digital images you have, so that you can actually work on your thesis material at the workshop.
