Class Description:
The CBS 4794W Writing Intensive Directed Research courses enable students to receive credit towards the University of Minnesota writing-intensive requirement for an independent 4000-level writing project related to research conducted with a University of Minnesota faculty member. WI directed research may be taken after one or more semesters of 4994 directed research or an equivalent experience. ? Students who pursue 4794W directed research must work with their faculty mentor to develop a mutually agreeable writing plan. The faculty mentor must agree to deliver discipline-specific writing instruction over the course of the semester. To meet the University requirement, this instruction should not be limited to providing summative feedback on a single piece of capstone level work towards the end of the semester. ? Writing intensive courses require 10-15 pages of formal writing apart from any informal writing. At least one formal writing assignment needs to undergo a substantive revision after receiving and discussing feedback. ? Typically, a final paper will cover the background and significance of the student project, results, materials and methods and a discussion section (all loosely modeled after a peer reviewed journal article). Other formal scientific writing genres can also be a part of the specified work. Once students register for a CBS 4794W course, they will have access to a Moodle site that has information about the structure of the final product and writing guides. ? Additional information about using these courses to ful'll the WI requirement may be obtained from the CBS Writing Enriched Curriculum liaison, Dr. Leslie Schiff. She may be contacted by email at schif002@umn.edu. ? Students who enroll in Writing-Intensive Directed Research for 3 credits are expected to devote 135 hours or more to lab work and scientific writing/writing instruction over the course of the semester. Three credits typically involves 8-10 hours per week.. ? Please initiate the registration process by completing the student portion of the digital contract found here: http://www.cbs.umn.edu/learn/undergraduates/undergraduate-research/directed-research ? The contract will need to be approved by the faculty mentor as well as the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the course designator. ? Students will be issued a permission number to register once the contract is fully approved. Please contact Dr. Kelaine Haas (khaas@umn.edu), the Undergraduate Research Coordinator in CBS for any additional questions about this course.
