What this is

A writing course built around reviewer psychology. You draft, get structured critique, and revise — learning the moves that make a methods section verifiable and a discussion defensible.

What you will be able to do

  • • Draft an IMRaD manuscript with a results section that matches your statistics
  • • Write claims that your data can actually support
  • • Edit for clarity, hedging and tone at reviewer level
  • • Write a point-by-point rebuttal that changes a decision
