(UG) Reading Critically to Support your Writing Online
Being able to read critically and analyse the work of experts in your field of study is an important part of your academic writing. It shows a good understanding of the subject, the ability to apply information, and an ability to write in an evidence-based manner. This workshop aims to develop your understanding of critical reading, how this supports your writing, action plan points you can work through, and tasks to encourage interaction throughout the workshop.
Note: This workshop lasts up to two hours. Please ensure you download the attached handouts and have them available during the workshop. Presentation slides will be sent the next working day or soon after only to confirmed attendees.
This workshop complements Critical Thinking 1: Descriptive, analytical and evaluative writing and Critical Thinking 2: Developing argumentation in academic writing workshops. To view and book on these and other workshops, visit: https://libcal.coventry.ac.uk/calendar/caw
