The Library and the AECSP invite graduate students to an intensive communal writing session to practice an effective writing method and to break the sense of isolation experienced by graduate students. The session will start with a presentation, in English, on different tips and methods to effectively paraphrase, followed by 3 x 50 minutes of writing, according to a format developed by 13:15. Afterwards, the room will be reserved for you to have lunch if you want to and discuss with other participants or with a librarian.

Bring your own computer (or you can borrow one from the Circulation Desk) and a document you would like to work on. It can be your dissertation or thesis, an article, or an academic assignment – the choice is yours!

Schedule:

8:45 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.: Welcome and installation

9:00 a.m. – 9:20 a.m.: Short presentation on effective paraphrasing (in English)

9:20 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.: Break and preparation (set up the computers, organize the space…)

9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.: 3 x 50 min. periods of writing, separated by 10-min. breaks (snacks provided, bring your own beverage)

12:20 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.: Room reserved for lunch – bring a cold lunch if you want to

Please note: You can also arrive at the beginning of the writing period (around 9:20 a.m.), but no one will be permitted to enter the room once the writing has started.

Registration is mandatory.
