Writing for Academic and Professional Communication

2 units

Short pieces of writing ranging from emails to research statements to cover letters do not always get as much attention as research papers and scholarly articles, but can make a big difference in the impression you make as a student, researcher, or job candidate. In this course, participants will strengthen their skills at producing short pieces of writing for academic and professional settings. These short pieces of writing will serve as a vehicle for refining participants' ability to compose culturally appropriate messages and for reviewing the grammar of written English.
