Academic Writing

This course helps students whose first language is not English develop their academic writing skills. The course covers essay structure, rhetoric, grammatical accuracy, paraphrasing, citing sources, critical thinking, and editing/revising work. The course is thematic: you will explore different topics and themes (current affairs, social issues, etc.) by reading, listening, and discussing material, and then write essays about that material. The instructors will provide extensive feedback to help you edit and revise your own writing.
