JSGS Student Workshop ~ Writing a Briefing Note

University of Regina

Succinct briefing notes are critical government documents. Through models of strong and weak briefing notes, you will learn what makes a good briefing note.

**Note, these workshops are only availble to current JSGS students**

This series of workshops is intended for JSGS students who want to improve their English writing skills and learn how to organize and write the particular documents that are required in the program.  The workshops target areas in which students have difficulties, but the School’s experience is that every student benefits from a familiarity with these rules and techniques.  PowerPoint slides will be available on JSGS’s website within 48 hours of the delivery of the workshops.  To access them, click on “Students,” scroll down to the heading “Resources,” and then click on “Useful Links and Documents.”  You will find the workshop materials there.
