Graduate Writing Studio Courses this Winter!!

We will be offering two Graduate Writing Studio Courses this winter for *non-native English speakers* who would like support with academic writing. General Studies 391 (2 credits)
SLN 20895, section O
SLN 20896, section P

In this course, students develop strategies they can directly apply to academic writing tasks from their chosen discipline. Here are the learning goals for the course:

o Develop an awareness of audience, style, and structure for a particular genre
o Analyze sources in terms of reliability
o Develop an awareness of, and practice the grammar used to write reports, definitions, introductions, literature reviews, data commentary, titles and abstracts
o Summarize & critique ideas in academic readings
o Use APA (or alternate) style of documenting sources correctly
o Learn to integrate source material correctly and effectively

Students are welcome to register for one of these sections. No add codes are required. Please note that a course fee of $713.00 is charged in lieu of tuition. Contact Amy Renehan (arenehan@pce.uw.edu) if you have questions about the course.
