Advanced Research Writing

Advanced Research Writing builds upon the fundamental research skills acquired in ENGL120W. Students learn advanced research-writing strategies and effective rhetorical techniques used across the curriculum and within disciplines. Reading peer-reviewed, scholarly articles, primary and secondary sources, in-depth reports, and comprehensive studies, students acquire advanced research skills. Through analysis, evaluation, and synthesis, they develop competence in the art of rhetoric, persuasion, and argumentation. Unlike ENGL120W, which teaches MLA, this course teaches APA, a documentation style required for many degree programs. This course is highly recommended for students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree. (Prerequisite: ENGL120W)
