SIG Academic Writing

Many teachers and supervisors at the UU encounter questions and challenges related to academic writing. A couple of examples: During their Ba/Ma thesis it turns out that students lack crucial writing skills: how is this possible and how can we better prepare them? Giving feedback takes so much time: how can this be done more effectively? 

Similar questions arise at the PhD level. How do I help someone who got stuck in the writing process? How can PhD students be supported to write more efficiently? 

There are many successful initiatives related to academic writing at the UU. In this Special Interest Group we would like to exchange knowledge and expertise obtained in these initiatives. Not only from daily practice but also from scientific literature. Not only 'best’ practices, but also ‘bad’ practices.
