Graduate Writing Starter Pack

Graduate writing often includes larger or more complex projects than many students have previously worked on. However, beginning with a clear picture of what is required can help you make strategic choices across your time in graduate school. To be successful, you must know your material, craft your message effectively for your audience, and prioritize consistent progress to meet longer-term goals. 

Knowing your Material: Graduate-level writing draws extensively from existing literature. Often, we encounter material long before we have an effective use for it. Or, we may have a pile of sources and not be sure how to glean the most useful information from them. To get the most out of your research efforts, you can utilize the resources below:

Finding Sources ( Library Resources ) For every field, there is a discipline-specific librarian who can help you find high-quality and relevant resources. The library is also able to request sources from other libraries or journals .

Organizing Citations ( Citation Managers ) Learn more about the citation managers supported by the TTU Libraries through the guides on their website: Zotero Guide ; Mendeley Guide ; EndNote Guide . 

Conceptualizing your Topics ( Literature Crosswalk – Matteson & Walker, 2020) As you grow within your discipline, you may find that the same article is applicable to multiple research questions or literature reviews. Tracking variables and results of interest and noting which themes emerge as you read articles (for classwork or research) will help you more easily organize your arguments in not only the current paper, but all future ones on related topics.

Understanding your Discipline (Reverse Outlining: STEM ; Humanities ) Before you begin to craft your message, you need to understand not only what information is known and noteworthy in your field, but also how that information is communicated. While you are reading to gain important knowledge in your field, it is also worth the time to understand how fellow scholars organize and highlight information as they build their arguments.

Crafting your Message: Once you have gathered your resources, it is time to synthesize them into your emerging argument. This starts at the sentence level, building towards a holistic argument that ultimately uses the structure favored by your field's publications (see Reverse Outlining, above). 

Paraphrasing ( Paraphrasing Principles ) Once you have found your sources, synthesizing the material in an ethical and effective way is a vital step in producing credible academic documents. This process requires careful citation, interpretation, and integration of existing research to build on others' scholarship in a way that incorporates your unique contributions and understanding while appropriately crediting theirs.

Organizing your Perspective ( MEAL Paragraph ) Every paragraph needs a purpose along with evidence or reasoning that supports its purpose and a connection to the next steps in the broader work. While not every paragraph needs to follow this pattern, using the MEAL (main idea, evidence, analysis, link) technique is a powerful way to consistently accomplish those three goals. 

Finding the Words ( Manchester Academic Phrasebank ) Also mentioned briefly in the paraphrasing resource above, the Manchester Academic Phrasebank is a collection of useful sentence templates that allow you to readily find a framing that reflects the way you intend your reader to interpret your inclusion of information or arguments. Using these templates is not plagiarism because these sentences do not contain data or arguments; instead, they represent ways to showcase data or support arguments.

Prioritizing your Progress: Complex projects benefit from clear management. Understanding your biggest deadlines, how to break them down into sustainable steps, and most importantly, what motivates you to stay on track, will help you make steady progress throughout your academic career.

Graduate School Timeline ( infographic ; formatting checklist ) While you are likely working on multiple projects at any given time, the most salient deadlines to the completion of your degree will be those related to your graduation document (e.g., portfolio, thesis, dissertation). The grad school website offers important i nformation about the graduation process , and you can email the ETD office for clarification about defense-related forms and document formatting. 

SMART Goals ( SMART Goals How-tos ) With large projects, it is important to develop sustainable habits. By creating goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely, you can build momentum through a series of small wins. Understanding your project(s) at this scale can help you track and complete the necessary tasks to achieve your larger goals

Focus Tools There are several apps that can support your focus and goal tracking. If you prefer working alone, you can support your word count goals with websites like Written Kitten , which rewards you with a picture of a cute kitten each time you achieve a certain level of word count progress; Write Honey , which allows you to track a daily writing streak based on word count; or The Most Dangerous Writing App , which creates a high-stakes environment for bursts of continuous writing. If you prefer to use time-based methods, you can try the traditional Pomodoro Technique , or variations like Flora or Forest that allow you to plant virtual (or in the paid version, real) trees. Apps like Habitica gamify tasks based on habits, daily goals and larger projects and can be used alone or with a group to complete quests. And for those of you who work best with others, Focusmate allows you to schedule co-working time blocks for accountability with individuals from around the world.  

Local Accountability ( GWC Thesis and Dissertation Boot Camp ; GWC writing groups ) Finally, the GWC offers two programs that support accountability and community in the writing process:

  • Our writing groups are available to all students and post-docs who have a larger writing project (e.g., coursework, publications, thesis, or dissertation) they want to focus on across a whole semester.
  • Thesis and Dissertation Boot Camp is available to students who are working on their thesis or dissertation at the proposal stage or later and would like to dedicate three hours for four days in a row to making concentrated project.

Application deadlines happen in the first few weeks of the semester, so check out our website at www.grad.writingcenter.ttu.edu to learn more!

Robert Garry, PhD

Education & Affiliations

Dr. Garry received his B.S in Life Sciences with a minor in Chemistry from Indiana State University in 1978. He then carried out doctoral studies in Microbiology at the University of Texas at Austin under the direction of Dr. Marilynn R.F. Waite and received his Ph.D. in 1978. His dissertation was entitled: "Intracellular sodium and potassium and the regulation of gene expression in virus-infected and virus-transformed chick cells." He carried out postdoctoral research in virology at UT Austin under the mentorship of Dr. Henry R. Bose, Jr. In 1983 Dr. Garry was appointed Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1985 he was Visiting Professor of Pathology at the University of Southern California working with Dr. Suraiya Rasheed. Dr. Garry spent 1991 as a Visiting Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Hamburg working with Dr. Gebhard Koch. Since 1993 he has been Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane Medical School. Dr. Garry has published over 100 papers in the area of retrovirology. Research in the Garry Laboratory focuses on a number of aspects of retroviral pathogenesis. Investigations have found that HIV induces a number of defects in plasma membrane ion transport, which could account for the loss of CD4+ T-cells in AIDS patients. Another research interest is the molecular characterization of an isolate of HIV from a patient who died of AIDS in 1969. This is the earliest confirmed case of AIDS in the United States. In addition, the lab has discovered a retrovirus named human intracisternal A-type retroviral particle (HIAP), which appears to be involved in systemic autoimmune diseases and idiopathic CD4 T-lymphocytopenia. More recently, the lab obtained evidence for the existence of a human endogenous retrovirus named human mammary tumor virus (HMTV), which is a close homolog of a virus which causes breast cancer in mice.

Dr. Garry is currently managing a consortium of scientists who are developing countermeasures, including diagnostics, immunotherapeutics and vaccines, against Lassa virus, Ebola and Marburg viruses, and other high consequence pathogens. Our team has produced Lassa fever and Ebola point-of-care and confirmatory diagnostics based on recombinant proteins. A combination of human monoclonal antibodies has been shown to rescue 100% of monkeys even when treatment is initiated at an advanced stage of disease. Studies on a combination Lassa fever and Ebola vaccine for use in West Africa have been initiated. Productive collaborations have been exploited to deepen understanding of the natural history of viral hemorrhagic fevers while providing training for West African scientists and further developing research and clinical trial infrastructure in Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

  • Centre Researcher Takes His PhD Project to the Australian Bureau of Statistics

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) may soon use the research results of a QUT Centre for Data Science PhD Candidate when sharing data with the Australian public, researchers, and government agencies.

phd center

As a key piece of national infrastructure, the ASGS is updated every five years to account for changes in Australia’s population and how it’s distributed across the country. The ASGS divides Australia into regions of different sizes, which need to fit together consistently. Larger regions are created by grouping smaller regions in a logical way.

Additionally, the statistics for these regions must also combine accurately when you move from smaller regions to larger ones. This need for consistency and accuracy makes updating the ASGS a complex and time-consuming task, like solving a challenging puzzle.

Phil’s research offers the ABS a solution for automating the creation of new geographic boundaries, which has the potential to reduce some of the manual work needed to update the ASGS, particularly in high-growth areas.

“Until now, the rezoning of high-growth areas has been done manually. I have created an algorithm that automates aspects of this manual rezoning,” says Phil.

As he completes his PhD with QUT’s Centre for Data Science, Phil has already begun working as a designer for the next edition of the ASGS in the Statistical Infrastructure Division at the ABS office in Brisbane.

Phil’s supervisor in the Centre for Data Science is Associate Professor Gentry White.

“We very much value our relationship with the ABS and the Methodology and Data Science Division, which has enabled the collaboration. It’s exciting to see something that started as a PhD project advance to the point where it could make a real difference in future editions of the ASGS,” says Gentry.

“Plus, it’s not too often that a person takes their PhD project into the real world right away, but that’s what Phil is doing.”

The Asian Studies Program was incredible because most professors were undertaking their own research, passionate about their subject of study, and enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge with students. It felt fresh and profound at the same time. Inspiring! 

Kim Sluchansky

I was able to delve deep and focus on the areas of Asian Studies that truly interested me, and therefore gained a much more thorough and developed understanding of my fields of interest, which are applicable to my current career path. Also, the professors are extremely helpful and want their students to succeed. They were very supportive both while I was at UH and after I graduated.
