An advanced writing course for graduate students in any department who have substantial work in progress, such as professional articles, theses, or dissertations. Taking a cross-disciplinary and reader-based approach to academic writing, this course helps writers learn how to communicate complex and difficult material clearly to a variety of audiences. Through a combination of short lectures, small-group seminars, weekly writing assignments on your project, critiques, and some one-on-one conferences, WRIT 7103 will prepare students for the demands of academic writing. This course helps advanced writers structure complex data, develop extended arguments, and position their work as a contribution to ongoing debates in their fields.
