This course is an introduction to a number of key concepts in Academic Writing. We will begin by considering how academic writing differs from other styles of English, and then move on to discuss how to structure an essay, some specifics of vocabulary and grammar, and how to use (and not misuse) secondary sources, citations and footnotes. We will also look at some of the software you can use to help and improve your writing and discuss writing and delivering academic presentations. The aim of the seminar is to introduce students to the principles of academic writing and to improve their reading, writing and critical thinking skills.
