SKIL 6056 - Graduate Writing I: Basic Composition Skills

(0 credits)

In this 6-week course, graduate students take the first step in developing their reading and writing skills for scholarly work. Students read a research article and summarize its parts, thus becoming more familiar with the language, structure, and style of the academic conversation. In addition to summary writing, topics include APA citation, scholarly voice, and revision. Students also maintain a journal of writing feedback they've received and apply that feedback to papers for their discipline-specific courses. After completion, students move on to SKIL 6065/6066 - Graduate Writing II: Intermediate Composition Skills.

Note: This course was previously listed as CAEX 6056.
