Grab a coffee and get writing. Join our network of graduate student, postdoc, and faculty writers at the Grad Writing Café! Meet other writers, stay on track, and make progress on your work. Writing doesn't have to be solitary!

In this workshop, we’ll discuss the purpose of Q&As and defences, teach you how to prepare for questions from your audience and share strategies to ask and answer questions clearly. This workshop works best if you’re preparing for a presentation with a significant Q&A portion (like a defence). Throughout this workshop, we’ll ask you to think about your department’s defence culture, anticipate questions about your research, and practice asking and answering questions with your peers.

If you dread the Q&A portion of a presentation or defence, this workshop will help you feel more confident about giving your answers.

It's time to start planning your thesis or dissertation: now what? You’re about to finish your coursework or comprehensive exams and have started to think about writing your thesis or dissertation. Where do you begin?

Rock your Thesis is a three-part program that guides graduate students through the first phases of planning and writing a thesis or dissertation. The series covers topics such as planning and project management, structuring your thesis or dissertation, writing a literature review, using strategies for finding and recording research sources, and revision.

Each of the three Rock Your Thesis sessions balances talks from support staff across campus with hands-on activities to guide you through your own planning, drafting, and revising process.

Part 3: Revise and Submit

The third in the three-part “Rock Your Thesis” series, this workshop will equip you with the skills you need to revise your thesis or dissertation draft and plan to submit and defend it. This hands-on, interactive program has three objectives:

• Review the submission and defence process and timelines
• Introduce a range of revision strategies and both the structural and sentence levels.
• Give participants an opportunity to try out revision and peer-review activities with their own work

This workshop is best suited for Master’s and PhD students who have written at least part of their thesis or dissertation draft. Please bring a laptop, digital copy of your work-in-progress, and a printed copy of at least 10 pages of your thesis or dissertation.

The literature review can be a challenging and time-consuming component of a research project. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) can’t write your literature review for you, but this workshop will explore and introduce GenAI tools you may use as supports in the literature review process. We will identify ethical, legal, and intellectual property pitfalls associated with GenAI use, and offer guidelines and strategies for productive, ethical, and appropriate use of specific GenAI tools for specific purposes at each stage of the research and writing process.

This interactive workshop is a collaboration between the Library and the Writing and Communication Centre and is designed for graduate students who are working on a literature review as part of a project proposal, thesis or dissertation, or a standalone journal article.

This is an online workshop. Participants will join via MS Teams.
