All writing assignments are presented as process-and-product using the act of writing as a rich learning strategy. This course not only uses writing as a mode of learning but also teaches and reinforces writing skills so that students practice writing in standard written English, focusing on the classic academic research paper. Students also learn strategies to avoid plagiarism.
