This course provides students the opportunity to identify, analyze, and practice a variety of skills necessary for writing in academia. The course will guide participants through the process of writing an essay. Peer review activities will aid participants in honing their skills in terms of language use, vocabulary development, register, narrowing a topic, and argumentation. The course will also address conventions of academic writing, for example politically productive and inclusive language. Articles from scholarly journals will provide ample material for students to engage with in further developing their writing skills. Students will compose two short argumentative essays in this course. The course will be a mixture of synchronous (Zoom meetings) and asynchronous (no Zoom meetings – individual work) lessons.
