Overcoming difficulties together: How to make peer-writing groups work?
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.
How to meet requirements for an international publication
This semester, the AWC presented a new course led by an international specialist in academic writing.
Genre insights: Analyzing the book review
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.
How to level up your academic writing
We have noticed that many colleagues who attend courses and workshops at the Academic Writing Center are so inspired by this experience that they tend to come back again and again. As we value the loyalty of our visitors and take keen interest in their progress, we constantly update our programs and offer new courses.
AI tools: Tread carefully
Although it has been some time since the advent of artificial intelligence, the interest in AI tools seems to be growing stronger by the day. Therefore, the AWC continues exploring the topic of AI tools and their application in research writing.
