Designed as a discussion/workshop seminar, this course introduces students to the rigours of academic writing: what makes it different from other kinds of writing, how different assignments approach analysis and evidence, and what counts as effective communication within scholarly communities. The course helps students develop scholarly communication strategies for a successful college experience across the curriculum, covering skills such as close reading; generating, supporting and sharing ideas in both oral and written form; and scholarly researching. Drawing from a wide selection of texts and media, students will explore various responses, from class discussion and oral presentations to individual essays and further research.
