This course is part of the following programs:
Admission into a qualifying Program of Study.
There are no prerequisite courses.
The ability to read complex texts and follow sustained arguments is required.
This course will break down the writing process. It will teach students how to write simple, cogent papers at first and how to progressively improve their research, précis-writing, and annotation skills so as to sustain more complex and nuanced arguments. In addition to the basic elements of style, we shall also learn the formal aspects of academic writing: how to correctly quote and cite sources, how to collect and referee previous scholarship, how to edit one’s own work, and how to incorporate existing research into one’s writing.
The class will meet for three hours each week. The course is structured as a series of exercises. Students will be assigned specific assignments for each week, e.g., précis-writing, gathering secondary sources, reviewing a book, summarizing a source, or reconstructing an argument. Students are required to bring materials to each class for discussion and critique. There are no term papers or exams. Students will be graded based on their assimilation of skills and their progress in writing.
