Description
Doing a multi-sourced literature review within higher education literature and synthesizing key research ideas and findings in a paper/scholarly workshop can seem like a daunting task. In this hands-on session, you will have the opportunity to produce a rough outline of your main deliverable (paper or mini-workshop) and receive feedback on the effectiveness of your plan. Through a series of guided exercises and dedicated writing time, you will be able to make progress on your paper/workshop and receive feedback from your peers, CTE facilitators and a consultant from the Writing and Communication Centre.
Pre-session activity
You should attend this working session if:
- you have your 10 key literature sources submitted on Waterloo LEARN and approved by CTE

You should bring to this session:
- your laptop or writing device of your own choice (e.g., notebook, paper, post-it notes)
