PELS 6003, Thesis and Dissertation Writer Workshop, has helped me determine what I need to complete my thesis successfully. I learned about tools like Semantic Scholar that can help me find articles relevant to my research topic. Participating in peer reviews taught me to pay attention to the format and flow of writing and not focus only on grammar mistakes. Additionally, I should point out things the writer has done positively, which is a great way to encourage my peers. Dr. Mendelow’s presentations were great refreshers about grammar rules and will help improve my writing. Most importantly, I made progress towards my thesis and can set up appointments at the writing center to help refine my writing when the time comes. Thank you, Dr. Amadori!

This course gave me the confidence I needed to proceed with my program. I have learned about note-taking, citation, and research tools that will make the process less tedious. I have also learned about the research process and how to read. Dr. Amadori has been a fabulous professor. She is the ideal professor for this course. She allows everyone to feel comfortable with naturally sharing in class. Thank you for making this opportunity available to ¼ø»Æʦapp.

The Thesis and Dissertation Writer Workshop class effectively improved my thesis writing, especially theÌýIntroduction and Methods sections. I gave and received feedback from other ¼ø»Æʦapp and professor Amadori during writing workshops. At the beginning of the class, I was drafting my thesis manuscript. While reviewing and seeing different perspectives on writing, I also got some ideas on reviewing and writing. This class helped me to improve my manuscript and refine the coherency, and structure. The knowledge gained from this class will be valuable in every aspect of my academic journey. I improved my academic writing with the help of a good mentor and feedback from the class. I recommend this class to other multilingual and international ¼ø»Æʦapp who are in the phase of preparing their manuscripts.ÌýThisÌýwill help them to engage and get feedback from a wide range of disciplines.

The PELS Thesis and Dissertation workshop offered each of us the opportunity to recognize and identify our weaknesses in the writing process and try to improve them by applying new strategies. I enjoyed the whole course, Dr. Ahmed Fahad’s extraordinary communication skills put us at ease from the first day of class. A pleasant atmosphere was immediately created, lesson after lesson we were able to overcome our insecurities and collaborate for a common end goal through respectful interaction between everyone. Each class was rich in terms of content, insights, and suggestions. I suggest that everyone attend it to gain a new methodology of working, a new approach, and confidence in the writing phase. I cannot thank Dr. Ahmed enough for this unique experience
