The course focuses on helping students develop academic writing skills. We will begin by exploring types of academic essays and conclude with writing a research paper. Each class will consist of a short lecture or demonstration of academic writing principles and a number of writing or editing exercises. Often we will work together on exercises, both in small groups and as a class. We will also share and edit each other's writing, so students should grow accustomed to both giving and receiving constructive feedback on assignments

This course will use active learning techniques so that students improve in their writing skills. Additionally, this class will help students build on what they have studied in previous English classes.

Students must complete the readings and writing assignments prior to class. Many assignments will be submitted electronically. Students will need to know how to upload documents to the course LMS and/ or send an email with an attachment.

Class time will be devoted to numerous group and individual activities. Students should be prepared to speak, listen, read, and write in English in all class meetings.

Students should review the course materials following each class. Students may find keeping a diary with vocabulary and their reaction to each week's class to be useful.

Students should actively participate in all class meetings. It is possible to attend every class and receive a failing grade for this course. Students challenging grades earned on class work or their final grade should be aware that it is possible to receive a lower grade after review. Students are expected to do their own work. Penalties for academic dishonesty will range from failing an assignment or the course.

Students are prohibited from using AI writing tools in this class.
