Catalog description

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. Academic language can feel at times peculiar or impenetrable. In this course, students will learn discursive practices to understand and contribute to their disciplines and learn how to convince interdisciplinary collaborators, funders and general audiences of the value of their work.
