Dissertations and Master's Theses: Starting the Process In-Person
This workshop offers helpful guidance for grad students as they get started on large or long-term research writing projects such as master’s theses, graduate-level term papers, and dissertations and dissertation chapters. Topics covered will include establishing your research focus and your keywords in the critical conversation; finding subject-specific databases; narrowing and mapping your argument; and keeping your notes and resources organized with citation managers. Even if you've already started on your project, this workshop features helpful exercises useful at any stage in the writing and research process.
