WORKSHOP: Writing Matters: Strengthening Your Academic Voice
This lively workshop equips students to respond to their course assignments more effectively by taking a strategic approach to reading and writing that emphasizes critical thinking and a recursive writing process. To "demystify" the conventions of academic writing, we will demonstrate how to connect assignments to course content, explore ways to clarify a research path, discuss the importance of critical, analytical thinking, demonstrate methods for using course readings as discipline-specific writing models, introduce students to citation resources, and emphasize the role of repeated review and revision as an important and integral part of the writing process.听
