HASS Research Writing Intensive Workshop 7: Discussing Results and Drawing Conclusion

Description:

***The following workshops will be held in a hybrid format. If you register to attend it online, a zoom link will be sent to you the day before the workshop.

Pursuing a research degree demands a wide array of complex skills. Among them, writing skills stand out as one of the most challenging yet often underdeveloped. We understand the struggles, and these workshops are designed to support our graduate researchers in crafting and completing their thesis to academic standards.

From generating research questions to articulating conclusions, each workshop offers practical skills and guidance for structuring and developing a specific research component (as outlined in the table below). Collectively the eight workshops aim to ensure participants' progression in building a well-rounded skill set to navigate the writing process.

Registered students are encouraged to attend all ten workshops to receive a certificate of completion (note: each workshop requires separate registration). However, students are also welcome to register for and attend individual workshops based on their interests or availability.

Participants will also be invited to join a Research Writing Group, where they can connect with peers from diverse disciplines, exchange feedback on their research, and stay motivated throughout their writing journey.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your research writing prowess and take a significant step toward completing your thesis!

Discussing Results and Drawing Conclusion

The discussion chapter of a thesis entails connecting the research results to pertinent empirical and theoretical perspectives. By doing so, researchers can uncover valuable insights into the question or phenomenon under investigation. Conveying these insights is essential for engaging audiences from diverse backgrounds, whether they are academics, professionals, or the public. This workshop furnishes graduate researchers with skills to interpret and integrate research results, develop theories or arguments based on research results, articulate contributions, and conclude the study with impact.
