＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
Conceived as a workshop rather than a lecture-based format and primarily for humanities rather than social science students, this course offers students the chance to fine-tune and hone their academic writing skills. Every student will deliver in-class presentations (25% of the final grade) in which they assess the content of writing guides, thereby sharing the advice of writing experts who have published in this area. However, the greater majority of course assessment (75% of the final grade) depends upon in-class student discussion. In practical terms, this means the following:
* Students should have one or more works of scholarly writing in hand, of chapter or journal-article length, which they feel comfortable publicly disseminating among their peers.
* Students must deliver well-observed, constructive, and critically astute observations as feedback on other people's writings.
Accordingly, students must fully commit to attending the workshops. Missing classes will not only result in a lower grade but defeat the purpose of the course as a whole, namely to ensure that student participants emerge with significant feedback on their writing and improved knowledge of their own particular strengths and weaknesses as academic writers.
