Seminar in Writing History for Publication

Catalog description

Students will take an example of their past or current written work (a seminar paper, a section of a thesis or dissertation) and refine it for publication as a scholarly article. Emphasis will be on writing in a clear, correct, and well-organized way; on sharpening arguments and interpretations; on undertaking additional research in primary and secondary sources; and on critiquing the work of fellow students in a professional manner.
