Join us via Microsoft Teams for this free workshop and learn how to navigate the grueling task of writing a dissertation, as well as methods to stop procrastinating and sustain a good writing habit. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify your strengths and seize opportunities for growth as scholars and writers, while reinforcing self-efficacy, or the belief in your own skills and knowledge to complete a task. You will be asked to reflect on your motivations for writing a dissertation and completing your degree and to identify your individual writing process. Using these various insights, you will learn how to prepare yourself for writing and plan out the course of your dissertation reading, writing, and research.
