Advanced Writing for Graduate Students
This writing course is designed for graduate students who have made significant progress in their degree programs and are thinking about larger, ongoing writing projects: a prospectus, a conference paper, or an article for publication. This course does not offer support for creative fiction or non-fiction. Class activities engage students’ projects in a range of ways designed to create a supportive community of writers and promote steady progress. These activities may include: discussion of effective academic writing and the demands of writing in graduate school; attention to specific writing strategies and techniques, such as argumentation, organization, research, aspects of style, audience, genre, and approaches to the writing process; “write-together” sessions; peer review and feedback; and 1:1 conferences with the instructor.
- Classes will be held in-person Monday 11:00am-12:00pm (section 1/Humanities) or Tuesdays
11:00am-12:00pm (section 2/Natural/Social Science). - Permission of the Sweetland Center for Writing is required to register.
- This course is not designed to provide intensive language study for multilingual speakers.
