SATURDAY Show Up and Write! Online co-writing session

Lock in some focused writing time on your thesis 

Now on Saturdays to support part-timers and those with flexible schedules. 

Simply Show-up and write!

This is a co-writing session where you can join your fellow research students and use your virtual co-presence to help focus, motivate, and commit to solid writing periods. 

Whether in person or via a video call, having others present helps model the behaviour that we want to ourselves to do. Social presence also provides gentle accountability. 

How it works:

• Say hi at the start, and if you like, share a writing goal that you're working on. Then simply start writing. 
• Keep your microphone off, but if it's ok, leave your camera on so that others can benefit from your presence, too.

We've currently set this session for every Saturday 10am-12pm, Sydney time, and are trialling these times for February. See Tuesdays for a second weekly session. 

To join the Saturday session, follow this link. 

Note. This session is not supervised by staff and is student-led. You will need to log in using your MQ log in. 

Students are expected to respect the work of other students, and carry themselves in a way that is consisten with the Macquarie Student Charter. Any unwelcome behvaiour will be followed up by staff and reported for investigation.
