ELSP Academic Writing I

Description from DukeHub

In Academic Writing I, students improve their writing skills by writing multiple drafts of some of the standard graduate-level text forms. Peer review and instructor feedback are offered to help students advance to the highest level of proficiency. In the process of writing papers, students also develop an awareness of text purpose and audience expectation while improving grammar and vocabulary skills. Specific skills such as how to recognize and avoid plagiarism are taught through paraphrasing and source citation.
