What Participants Are Saying...
This session was amazing and beyond what I expected. Tania also teaches the same sector (university - bridge students) so she clearly understands their needs. She gave us amazing ideas, and I found the workshop to be interesting, engaging and most of all, relevant.
Amazing. Best one of the day. Clear, organized, appropriately named for her audience, not disappointed in any way!
​
One of the best presentations I have ever attended anytime, anywhere. The presenter demonstrated that thorough preparation, solid knowledge, a warm, flexible but professional approach to delivery, a communicative task-based activity, and an obvious passionate commitment to teaching results in participants walking out saying "I'm on a high"!! Thank you so much. Please repeat the presentation next year!
​
The materials and opportunities to work together were very helpful in terms of giving me ideas of what kinds of tasks to provide with academic articles.
​
The presenter was very engaging and encouraged a lot of participation. The materials she provided were varied in terms of topic and made for interesting discussion. This presentation was definitely enjoyable, informative and worthwhile.
​
Tania Pattison was excellent - I got a lot out of her workshop/presentation - lots of good advice, and she also shared lots of good examples from her own experience getting into the writing and editing industry.
​
As a freelance writer and editor with some experience, hoping to get more, this was extremely helpful. A lot of links and info was shared--much of it in a handout. This was easier than having to find it online somewhere.
