Description

Peer review is a crucial aspect of academic writing. It allows you to gain diverse perspectives on your work, identify areas for improvement, and refine your arguments / writing style.

This block is part of a two-block writing workshop series designed to support PhD students at various stages of their academic journey. Block 2 focuses exclusively on peer review and consists of 2 sessions dedicated to providing and receiving feedback on an existing draft. By participating in this block, you will have the opportunity to present your work to peers, receive valuable insights, and develop a deeper understanding of the strengths and areas for improvement in your writing.

Course structure

• Self- & Peer review, part I (24.01.) How do I revise my own paper once it is complete? How can I offer constructive feedback to my peers?
• Peer- Review, part II (31.01.) Here we continue to work on revising the work of our peers and collecting feedback on our own written work.
