Writing with Authority: Referencing and Paraphrasing 6 November

Writing with Authority: Referencing and Paraphrasing

Being able to build up a sense of authority in your work is an important way of getting people to listen to things you have to say: writing that doesn’t have authority is easily dismissed as mere opinion.

Join the Academic Skills team for a seminar on how to best build a sense of authority in your written work. By attending, you will learn why paraphrasing is so useful, how to incorporate references into your work, and what ‘reasoned discourse’ is.
