Introduction to Academic Writing

授業の目標（講義概要）

The second semester of this third-year writing course will further develop the skills learned in the first semester. Both self-editing and peer-editing skills will be taught. The students will be expected to produce an essay containing appropriate, and properly cited, outside sources. The length and subject matter of the project is up to the instructor. The final project must demonstrate that the student has learned the fundamentals of college-level academic writing.

授業計画

In the second semester, we will begin with argumentative essays. Students will learn how to take a stance, organize their opinions, and defend their ideas in a logical, intelligent manner. Students will also be introduced to academic writing in preparation for their graduation theses. They will be instructed on how to bring outside sources into their writing and the reasons for doing this. The MLA Handbook will be introduced and explained.

評価方法

Regular attendance, class participation, and completion of all homework assignments are required to receive a passing grade in this class. In addition, a final project of 4-5 typed pages will be required to demonstrate each student's understanding of the basics of academic writing.
