Bridging Academic Writing

Catalog description

This course asks you to think, to write, to “read between the lines,” to critique your and other’s writing, and to revise. You will explore independent thinking through intensive work-shopping and you will apply concepts discussed in class to your writing. You will be encouraged to go beneath the surface of representation, to speculate not only on what things say but how they are put together, to locate assumptions, beliefs, and values at work in various forms of text. In short, this course asks you to beocme more of a critical thinker and a more effective presenter of your perspective.
