Writing the Dissertation - The Results and Discussion

This webinar covers the essentials of writing the results and discussion chapters, or chapter, for a dissertation or an extended piece of writing: understanding the overarching purpose of both chapters, or sections, in the context of the dissertation, defining the difference, and relationship, between the results and discussion and establishing a structural template for the discussion. This is a recording of a live webinar delivered by the University of Southampton's Academic Skills Service.
