Academic Writing Strategies: Systematic Concept Search, Retrieval, and Effective Paraphrasing
Academic Writing Strategies: Systematic Concept Search, Retrieval, and Effective Paraphrasing emphasizes the centrality of academic writing skills in producing a high-quality thesis or dissertation. The course equips postgraduate students with the ability to break down broad research topics into granular concepts, search systematically across large databases, and retrieve precise ideas that can be paraphrased into sentences and expanded into coherent paragraphs. Through practical demonstrations and best-practice techniques, you will learn how to transform scattered concepts into well-structured academic writing across all sections of your work, ensuring originality, avoiding plagiarism, and developing a clear scholarly voice. By the end, you will have a practical strategy for moving from retrieved ideas to polished, credible, and academically sound research writing that upholds the highest standards of integrity and scholarship.
