Description
Academic writing and research skills are essential to student success in higher education. However, students are often unaware of the conventions of formal academic research and writing. In this class, students identify and apply relevant academic research and discourse conventions, evaluate, and integrate academic research into their own writing, and employ APA style and citation to build academic ethos. Through discussion boards, scaffolded writing assignments, and hands-on research, students demonstrate the necessary skills for academic success in their chosen programs.
