This small-group workshop is for doctoral students who have a working draft of their dissertation, project, or doctoral study proposal but find themselves needing writing guidance and support.
With the help of the writing faculty member, workshop participants will spend 6 weeks advancing the proposal draft through tailored one-on-one writing instruction and supportive group work with the students' peers. Students will get to know the required components of the proposal and have the opportunity to learn how to address common writing issues, such as APA Style, citing and referencing sources, clarity and concision, and writer's block. Importantly, the instruction and feedback that students receive will be anchored in their own work. The goal of this workshop is to help students make progress toward the completion of the proposal. As needed, the writing faculty member will help create a tailored plan based on students' specific needs to ensure that they can continue to advance their draft.
