The online workshop allows you to cover a number of academic literacy modules at your own pace. The online workshop covers:

1. academic style of writing
2. paragraph and essay structure
3. report writing
4. note making and reading academic texts
5. researching and referencing
6. spelling and punctuation

Fill in your personal details and click the option of ‘register for an online workshop’

As well as registering for the online workshop, you can select to attend a number of Zoom sessions during February 2021 which will help you succeed in your assignments. These literacy Zoom sessions will be offered during the three weeks before the start of the Autumn semester 2021.

You can select a 2-day schedule of Zoom sessions which will cover many of the skills you will need, or you can select individual sessions to attend.

A 2-day schedule would look like:

Day 1: Features of academic writing 9:30-11:00am, Organising Academic Paragraphs 12:00-1:30pm, Effective note-making and critical analysis 2:30-4:10pm

Day 2: Essay writing 9:30-11:30am, Researching: Finding Suitable Sources12:00-1:30pm, Academic Referencing 2:30-4:30pm

Alternatively, you could do four different sessions across four evenings (between 6:30 and 8:30pm).

You can also select a number of sessions focused on improving your academic vocabulary and grammar.

Once you have registered for the online workshop, you will be sent more details about the selection of literacy Zoom sessions and information on using Zoom.

The online workshop is only available for enrolled Western Sydney University students. Students attending The College  will have automatic access to THE ONLINE WRITING LAB and so do not need to register for the Academic Literacy Online Workshop.
