In this writing course, students have an opportunity to examine their own writing processes, learning to revise and edit their own work.
Students improve their writing through peer review, audience analysis, and collaborative work.
We look carefully at style, organization, format, and development. Students have the opportunity to analyze writing as a way of learning and thinking. We analyze the way language is used by the scientific community and examine some of the communication problems between the scientific community and the rest of the world. We use writing to examine controversial issues and challenge some of the basic assumptions held by the scientific community. This course is designed for sophomore and junior EFB students.
