WRITERS

In this second module, participants put the knowledge from the Starters module into practice in class. This module provides a structured process within which participants actually write and thereby develop their writing competence. Ideally, participants work on an existing draft to turn it into a submittable manuscript; alternatively they can turn a concept and/or data into a first draft.

Writing in this hands-on module takes place in two two-day sessions. Participants are introduced to various strategies that support the writing process. In addition, they receive feedback from peers and detailed individual oral and written comments from the lecturer.
