Structuring Exam Responses and Academic Writing Skills Workshop for the Gender Studies Programme

On February 26th, 2024, Ms. Kristy Chan held a workshop for students enrolled in GDRS1002 Feminism: Theories, Debates and Activism. This was the second workshop in a three-part series for this course. The series was established by the English Across the Curriculum Project and the Gender Studies programme in 2017 to assist students enrolled in GDRS1002. This session implemented a new instructional model by conducting a co-taught workshop with Dr. Cho on answering midterm exam questions from both a content and language perspective. Ms. Sarah Abramson also gave a brief introduction to the idea of feminist citations and the role of citations in good academic writing. The workshop materials consisted of a PowerPoint presentation and a handout. Overall, students responded positively to the workshop and found the content to be helpful in their preparation for their exams. The EAC project team is pleased with how this workshop went and looks forward to returning to give the final workshop of this series in April 2023.
