JustWrite – an online course on effective writing

JustWrite – an online course on effective writing


JustWrite is ideal for anybody producing a:

• research report

• thesis

• book or book chapter

• advocacy document

• paper for publication

• essay

or any other substantial piece of writing.

In three intensive weeks, JustWrite will guide you from conception to final draft, covering the key areas of:

 

• planning

• outlining

• writing a first draft; and

• editing to create a final version.



The course combines study material, stimulating interactive exercises, lively online discussion with your fellow participants and crucially individual tuition. Study is broken down into daily hour-long slots making the course suitable for those in full time employment.


You will also be able to produce a real document, using a series of closely marked assignments.

You will be supplied with a free, specially designed CDROM, containing all the study materials you will need, including interactive exercises and assignments. It also contains sections on grammar, punctuation and

stylistic issues – together with a reading list and guides to further study - making it an invaluable reference tool after you have completed

the course.

Alan Barker, MA Cantab, has written the course and will be your online tutor. Alan has written fourteen books, including Writing at Work (Industrial Society, 2020). He is also the author of two previous CDROMs, Write Now! (Capita Learning and Development, 2020), and Writing for Change (Fahamu & IDRC, 2020). Course Director: Dr Firoze Manji,

Director of Fahamu and Visiting Fellow, Kellogg College, University of Oxford.

Requirements: Computer (PC or Mac) with CDROM drive and minimum of 64MB RAM; email address.

The next online course begins on 14 July 2020. You can be anywhere in the world to benefit from this course; you only need access to a computer and email. Places are limited, so book early.

Or reserve a place on a course in September, October and November 2020.
