Process and Practice in College Writing

3 Credits.

First-year college students, biomedical researchers, and CEOs all must be able to write successfully for a range of audiences and situations. Effective research papers, scientific articles, and board reports require more ability and skill than simply using generative AI. In this course, students acquire the tools and confidence to write successfully throughout their college career and beyond. By reading, watching, and listening to a variety of texts, students will examine different formal models and practical strategies for writing in various genres and styles, from the analytic and academic to the reflective and personal. Students will explore core concepts of writing, such as argument and audience, with an emphasis on process and practice. Offered in summers only.
