Academic Writing: Social Sciences

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture) Academic Writing teaches the essential strategies for university writing and research: the discovery of topics, the arrangement of ideas, the assessment of audience and purpose, and the practice of effective editing. Sections of RHET-1102 are designed for students likely to major in a discipline in the Social Sciences, such as Politics, Psychology, or Sociology. Assignments may include annotated bibliographies, literature reviews, and ethnographies. Students are introduced to the styles of documenting sources and to the research databases relevant to the Social Sciences. The Department website provides detailed information about each section. Note: Students may receive credit for only one Academic Writing course at the 1000 level for graduation. Students with standing in the former ENGL-0100(3) Fundamentals of Rhetoric must register in a 3 credit hour version of Academic Writing in order to satisfy the writing requirement. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and ENGL-1100 | ENGL-1101 | ENGL-1121 | ENGL-1122 | RHET-1101 | RHET-1103 | RHET-1104 | RHET-1105 | RHET-1106 | RHET-1110 | RHET-1115.
