Scholarly Writing and Thinking

3 credits · Undergraduate

Students will engage in academic thinking processes such as identifying productive research questions about timely topics, evaluating and synthesizing literature, and composing academic writing in a range of genres (e.g., annotated bibliographies and literature reviews). Students will be able to view, emulate, and practice writing processes that are a part of the production of conference proposals, theoretical commentaries, and/or empirical research articles. Through drafting, revising, editing, and workshopping with peers and instructors, each student will receive ample feedback on their written work and develop the necessary skills for professional research and writing.
