ELSO 6580 - Research Paper Writers Workshop

Fall, Spring. 1.5 credits. S/U grades only.

M. Cox.

This course is designed to assist international graduate and professional students in making progress on writing a research paper (i.e. an article for publication, dissertation chapter, seminar paper, conference paper) by providing strategies for moving through a research writing project, structured writing time, access to resources, and a supportive peer community. Each week, writers will set and report on writing goals, participate in discussions about research writing, and have the option to use the rest of the class meeting time to write, learn about specific aspects of research writing, and/or meet with the instructor for individual consultations —whatever would best help them make progress on their research paper.
