Due to the different expectations of different disciplines, our courses vary from department to department. However, the general aim of all courses is to help students to develop as writers within the academic community by raising awareness of, practicing and reflecting upon the conventions of written texts in English. During the course, students will:
- Improve critical reading skills, enabling students to think and write more clearly and incisively
- Identify the structural features of specific academic writing genres, relevant to each discipline
- Refine writing processes through generating ideas, drafting, peer evaluation and individual writing consultations
- Learn to take into consideration the expectations of one’s readership with regard to academic writing discourse
- Effectively use the work of others in writing, including use of sources and citation methods
- Expand and improve the students' ability to work independently by exploring new strategies for learning
The Center for Academic Writing’s courses are designed specifically for each discipline, including Cultural Heritage, Economics, Environmental Sciences, Gender Studies, History, International Relations, Legal Studies, Nationalism, Network Science, Philosophy, Political Science, Public Policy and Sociology.
