No prerequisites listed, you can take this course without prior coursework.
Description
Academic Writing teaches the essential strategies for university writing and research: the discovery of topics, the arrangement of ideas, the assessment of audience and purpose, and the practice of effective editing. Sections of RHET-1106 are linked with departments such as Conflict Resolution Studies, Environmental Studies, and Kinesiology and Applied Health. Students who are registered in a discipline-specific course are also enrolled in an Academic Writing section that concentrates on the texts, topics, methods of research, and forms of writing appropriate to that discipline. The Department website provides detailed information about each section.
