Writing Support for IUG and Honors Scholars

Catalog description

he purpose of this course is to support IUG/Reading Specialist MEd students in writing their Master's papers as well as Schreyer Honors Scholars in The College of Education writing their Honors theses. The course provides an overview to the conventions of academic writing, and divides a major task into manageable sections. This class walks students through each section, provides models, and engages students in the actual practice of writing. Substantial working time is dedicated to writing the thesis. Students often have more faith in their ability to structure writing time into their week than is actually warranted. This course provides structured writing time, and students work in close proximity to other writers and to instructor feedback.
