Catalog description

In this six-week course, students will develop an advanced understanding of English syntax, semantics and mechanics. They will engage with both spoken and written academic documents that engage expert knowledge in a scholarly manner. Additionally, students will understand the rhetoric necessary for intellectual inquiry and independent research in both academic and professional environments, and they will incorporate these skills into their current university courses. The course includes an optional service-learning component.
