Workshop taught by Dr. Peter Grav

For graduate students engaged in a variety of  writing tasks including research articles, course papers or the thesis chapter entitled ‘Literature Review,’ the ability to review the literature of your field effectively is an essential skill. The lit review plays many roles ranging from establishing a need for new research to communicating the researcher’s bona fides. This workshop will explore this genre of academic writing, identify common pitfalls and examine strategies to maximize your lit review’s effectiveness.
