ENGL4831W: Critical Essay (52250)

Ballif, Michelle

TR 2 :00 PM

Park Hall 0067


This course aims to introduce students to the principles of writing--as academics.  As such, the course should be of interest to students not only wanting to succeed in their current academic course of study but also in graduate studies, beyond their undergraduate work.  To this end, the course will also discuss some basic "professionalization" concerns, such as how to prepare statements of intent for graduate school.  The focus, therefore, will be to introduce students how to enter the "dialogue" that is academic discourse and to ultimately produce a critical essay that does just that.
