Who should take this course?
- Graduate students who consider themselves to be novice or near-novice academic research writers
- Graduate students who would like to review the basic principles of academic research writing
Why is this course unique?
Most graduate students are accustomed to reading research articles for their informational content. They seldom focus on how these articles are written or what they might be able to learn about writing from these articles. In this course, you will learn how to see academic research articles from a writer’s point of view, which will allow you to develop a deeper understanding of the cultural expectations of U.S. academic readers and how these expectations influence academic research writing.
