Students continue to explore the theory and practice of academic reading and writing through a variety of topics or issues. Students perform close critical readings of scholarly texts to identify, analyze, and communicate the stylistic strategies and characteristics of academic sources. While investigating a topic, students use various research methods to assess, organize, and synthesize those scholarly sources in their own writing. They gain extensive practice in research writing, and apply the theories and practices of academic writing, with a focus on the research genres, including critical summaries, research proposals and research papers, and reinforced attention on documentation and grammatically-correct style. Students also practice communication strategies for professional discourse through group feedback on writing.
Prerequisite: 6 credits of first-year English ( with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent or permission of instructor or department Chair.
