Academic Writing Workshop | Monday August 22, 2016 | 2:00 - 3:30

Writing up one’s research is an arduous process that requires various cycles of reviewing and editing. This workshop offers input aimed at supporting writers so that their end product can be considered for publication in the Conference Proceedings, and ultimately, the journal. 
 
The importance of following a style sheet, editing grammar and usage, punctuation rules, and clear structure will make up the workshop content. In addition, participants will receive and give feedback in support group guided tasks.

Academic Presentation Workshop | August 22, 2016 | 4:00 - 5:30

They will examine presentation elements, requirements and work on how to prepare a presentation. They will also be given the opportunity analyze a few presentations as well as work on improving their own presentations.
