The course focuses on writing in academic contexts. Students practice analytical and persuasive writing that addresses various academic audiences with an emphasis on writing for learning, textual analysis, writing from research, and collaborative writing. With a focus on developing effective arguments, this course will help students become more aware of the arguments they encounter in their academic and everyday lives, develop greater skill in understanding and critically assessing those arguments, and build competence in producing their own arguments.
