Academic Year 2018/2019

This module is designed to facilitate and support graduate students to further develop their academic writing skills. The focus of the module is on publishing academic writing in the area of child development, with students identifying their own writing projects within this area. Each written project is peer reviewed within the group and all students are expected to submit at least one article over the course of the academic year and to review all articles submitted to the group. The group meets on the last Wednesday of every month from 2.00 to 4.00 with the first meeting on September 26th 2018 in the Newman Building. Graduate students are strongly advised to contact Eilis Hennessy (eilis.hennessy@ucd.ie) to discuss whether or not the module would suit their current area of research.
