Are you losing momentum and enthusiasm as you approach the final stages of your thesis? Perhaps you are in the “writing up” phase or maybe you haven’t started writing at all and are daunted by the size of the task ahead. Or maybe you just need some motivation and support to keep going.

This workshop is designed to assist research students who are close to completion to focus their efforts, deal with specific obstacles, increase writing productivity and maintain momentum. It will also assist students to prioritise and plan their final months.

The workshop has limited places to allow for individualised coaching. 

This workshop will cover:
• identifying the next steps
• strategies for overcoming blockages
• getting words on paper
• ensuring you get feedback
• developing a completion plan

This is a part of the Research Enhancement Program.
