課程概述 |
This course teaches fundamental yet important skills that enable students to write well-organized, clearly-reasoned, rhetorically effective, and grammatically correct essays. Topics to be covered are basic vocabulary and grammatical structures in academic English, techniques to construct an effective paragraph, mistakes in reasoning, and common patterns for essay writing. |
|
課程目標 |
This is a fundamentals course. You may not come out ready to write a thesis, but hopefully you will
1. learn to read as a writer;
2. understand the nature and standard of academic writing;
3. gain a vocabulary of elements with which to analyze and write a paragraph or essay;
4. improve reasoning skills and minimize possible logical fallacies; and
5. become a better team collaborator.
For those interested in moving up to the higher-level writing class—designed specifically to meet the needs of knowing how to write a research paper, thesis, or dissertation—these are important and rewarding preparatory tasks. |
