LLED 565H: Advanced Academic Writing for Education Researchers
Summer Term 2a, 2014 (Jul 2 to 18)
M-F, 11:30 to 2:30 in PON E 121
In this advanced writing course, we focus on the connection between the forms academic texts typically take and the scholarly cultures that produce them. You will learn more about writing conventions in your own fields of study (e.g., When is it acceptable to use “I” in my papers? How far do I go in making practical recommendations in my conclusion?). Just as importantly, you will learn more about what these conventions signal in terms of researchers’ beliefs about knowledge making and their orientations to practice and policy.
