Research Writing for Graduate Students in the Humanities and Social Sciences

3 units

The course focuses on genres of academic writing including critiques and research articles, using students' current work whenever possible. Participants also learn how to make the most of current language learning technology, including textual databases that enable them to find answers to their questions about elements of usage and structure typical for writing in their fields. Several editing workshops and individual tutorial meetings are built into the course to address language issues common to advanced language learners and help strengthen students' skills at editing their own writing.
