19/11/2022 Storytelling in Research Pg Dr Hj Md Hasnol Alwee The success of your research depends not only on the rigorous fieldwork, statistical techniques and analytical approach. The eventual findings that you intend to share is only as useful as your ability to convey them. In this session, we will explore the importance of effective writing vis-Γ -vis storytelling. Your ability to effectively share your insights (or confuse readers) through your writing can dramatically enlighten (or frustrate) the reader’s experience, whether the reader is an examiner, a policy maker or a layperson. Key considerations and approaches to writing will be covered to ensure our writings tells the story that we intend to create.
