Education

The semester at the Academic writing center is off to an exciting and unique start. We've already had a one-day course on academic vocabulary and a series of public speaking workshops where participants got to practice using virtual reality goggles. Before the end of the month, be sure to register and attend a few more of our events.

It’s time to make plans. We hope you have already set goals for the new year and included working on future publications. We invite you to AWC events that will help you achieve those goals. Register early so you don't miss out on something useful.

This week we ran the final workshop in the series led by Dr. Leslie Dupont. This time, Dr. Dupont invited colleagues from HSE University and other Russian universities to discuss effective writing group organization. The topic is of great relevance to all authors and researchers because peer reviewing does not only help develop writing skills, but also contributes to professional growth and strengthens motivation.

The Academic Writing Center continues a series of online workshops with Leslie Dupont, a writing expert from the University of Arizona. The second workshop was focused on the book review as a genre.

Learning from others is a useful skill for an author, especially if they write in a foreign language.

We decided to try the blended format for the first time, and it worked!

Did you know that our one-on-one consultations with expert academic writing consultants are one of the most useful and popular services for researchers at HSE? Our consultants can help you look at your work from a new perspective, identify not only linguistic but also logical errors, and make sure your text is clear and reader-friendly.

Public speaking is a skill everyone needs and few people seem to feel confident about. The Academic Writing Center offers HSE faculty and researchers a chance to master it.
