COLT 105 Workshop in Critical Writing
Critical thinking and concise, persuasive writing are prerequisites for any professional career. In fact, they go hand in hand. The Workshop in Critical Writing continues graduate students’ introduction to advanced research techniques, to the conventions of scholarly discourse, and to the various kinds of writing practiced in literary and cultural studies. Students will be asked to prepare and submit a scholarly article based on their tutorial project and major text presentation. The workshop format of the course permits students to read and critique each other’s work and to sharpen their editorial skills. In the last part of the course students practice writing an abstract (based on their MA essay or part of their MA essay) and prepare for the final oral presentation in mid-May.
