Effective Writing
Background
This training enhances participants' ability to write clear,
concise and comprehensive reports and to evaluate and maintain the quality of
their own writing.
Objectives
To enable participants:
- To enhance the effectiveness of their reports and other forms of
written communication
- To identify the features of a badly written report and an effective
report
- To set objectives and gather information
- To identify the readership, the terms of reference, appropriate
content and the structure
- To organise their work
- To evaluate the dimensions of style
- To edit their drafts
Method
The training is highly participative. It consists of a blend of informal
lecture, discussion, syndicate group work and individual exercises.
Participants will be asked to submit samples of reports and other materials
they have previously written to the course tutor in advance of the course. These
will provide the basis for individual tutorials which will be built into the
course structure. During the training, participants will work on producing a
short piece of writing on a selected topic, thus allowing them to practise and
implement the skills learnt on the course.
