Writing Effective Introductions

Facilitator: Dr Stephen Evans
Date: 7 December 2006 (Thursday)
Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm

Abstract:
Many postgraduate research students find it difficult to write an effective introduction to a research article. In this workshop we will analyse some of the features of effective and ineffective introductory sections and discuss the various strategies that successful writers use to grasp the attention of readers and reviewers. These include organisational, grammatical and vocabulary choices.
