#TipTuesday | Start messy. Improve later.

Try not to get stuck on perfecting your first draft. Give yourself permission to do it badly, but do it anyway. You can then refine it with feedback. Research writing is non-linear and always has room to improve.
– Dr J Senekal

PG Research #TipTuesday 💡#IamUWC

Don’t just ask your supervisor, “What should I do?”
Come with 2–3 options you’re considering.
It shows ownership of your research and leads to more meaningful guidance.
