In developing the ability to present and defend their own points of view clearly and concisely in writing, students undertake close readings of a wide variety of academic texts and learn to recognize and emulate the many strategies, structures, vocabulary, and styles that are appropriate to formal writing. In this course, students work to master the norms for citing and attributing data from print and other sources, and to observe the methods of acknowledging the research findings of others while practicing the process method by producing increasingly refined drafts of academic papers.
