What They Don't Tell You About Academic Writing
Wednesday, August 28th, 1:00pm - 2:30pm PT/ 4:00pm - 5:30pm ET
Especially in Masters and Doctoral programs, courses and assignments often assume that students know the unspoken expectations of the genre, but these are often not made explicit and clear. This introduction to academic writing explains some of those unspoken principles and expectations in the American academic context, and offers some suggestions for effective process.
