Shut up and read! Shut up and write!

Workshop

Date: Wednesday 2 October 2024

Time: 10.00 – 12.00

Location: Room 253, Studenthuset

Do you have reading or writing to do and are you having trouble staying focused? Join the Academic Writing Service on Wednesday mornings for a Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meeting.

During a Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meeting you put aside everything unrelated to your work and focus on getting your reading or writing done. You work together with other students, switch off your mobile phone and read or write intensively for two hours. To aid concentration we use a version of the Pomodoro method: we work for 45 minutes and then take a 15-minute break. During the break, you can share reading and writing tips with other students and get advice from one of the Academic Writing Service’s consultants.
