This course emphasizes critical reading of diverse texts and applying varied writing strategies used in common academic genres to student writing. Students will learn to make appropriate decisions about integrating sources into their texts while maintaining a clear boundary between their own work and that of others. Students will also work collaboratively with their peers through regular reading discussions, writing tasks, and class presentations. Learning how to select and present significant findings within an academic argument will also be emphasized.
