Planning what to write: Mapping your thesis/dissertation

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 12:00 PM until 1:30 PMCentral Daylight Time UTC -05:00

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.

Registration is no longer available because the registration deadline has passed.
