- Class Description:
- WRIT 5051 is designed to help you with the types of scholarly writing you need to do in graduate school. The assignments utilize much of the writing you are already doing for coursework, field-specific articles you are reading for your graduate courses, and research you are already conducting to help you write up the work in an acceptable and polished form. The writing areas in this course focus on rhetorical position, definition of audience, presentation of theory, critiquing, and summarizing techniques. For research writing, we practice integrating secondary sources using paraphrasing, quoting, and documentation techniques that are acceptable at a U.S. university. The assignments may include summaries, critiques, abstracts, proposals, and parts of a thesis or dissertation. Particular attention will be given to clarity of grammar, sentence structure, clarity of expression, use of formal, academic language, and other cultural issues in your drafts.
