Writing and Research Course Plan 2019
Writing and Research focuses on the development of students’ advanced academic writing and research skills. The aim is to enable students to read and write a variety of texts analytically and critically at both paragraph and essay levels. Students will practice skills of definition, analysis (cause/effect, classification), persuasion/argument, synthesis and critical writing. The course will introduce students to sub-skills in academic writing such as library research, use of sources and bibliographic referencing, interpreting data from charts, diagrams and graphs and writing literary essays. The course will focus on writing as a process.
