The MBA has been very successful in recruiting students but their rate of progress through the degree has been slower than we anticipated. This is partly because participants are tentative about their assignments. The purpose of this session is to demystify the writing process and help you to become expert authors.
Some students tend to be weak in identifying the precise focus of their study.
They may want to do something about collegiality, for example, but they are often unclear about the 'something'. An early task is to move beyond the broad topic towards a clear focus and a title which reflects this focus. Many students overestimate the volume of work required to complete a 5,000 words assignment. Those who have not studied for some time are inclined to think that 5,000 words are a lot and that they will have difficulty in writing enough. Consequently, they sometimes attempt too much.
