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, AI-aid in essay editing and polishing, 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. perhaps develop a sense of vision for your own writing.
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. |
