Brief Description: Provide graduate students with the necessary vocabulary, knowledge, skills, and experience to understand entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship terminology and principles. The course focuses on the specific context of teaching a process called evidence-based entrepreneurship.
Instructor: Ms. Jane Chisholm
Brief Description: Learn the cultural aspects of writing because many writing problems stem from lack of understanding of how writing, as a reflection of one’s way of thinking and beliefs, differs from culture to culture. Once understanding these differences, the next step is to learn the principles of organizing ideas clearly, completely, and cohesively. In addition, students analyze common non-native writing errors such as articles and countability and then examine errors common in all advanced writing (native and non-native), including punctuation and mechanics, conjunctions, adverb placement, adjective clauses, phrasal modifiers, and parallel structures. Through awareness of their specific writing and grammar errors, they practice proofreading and editing their own documents independently and during one-on-one meetings with the instructor.
