Academic Writing

This 2-day workshop will introduce you to the finer points of academic writing. Using a hands-on approach and conducted by award-winning writer Felix Cheong, it will take you from the pre-writing process of conducting research, to the writing process itself and finally to the post-writing activity of editing and proofreading.
