Fall 2016 Course

 

The Fall 2016 course, NC-114 Academic Writing for Seminarians, is designed to address writing challenges for domestic and international students alike. Inasmuch as academic writing takes skill, acquiring this skill can be accomplished with instruction, correction, and discipline. Your academic success is a partnership! REGISTER TODAY!

An accurate subtitle for this course might very well be, “Without Fear and Trembling: Academic Writing for Seminarians;” and will be taught as a practicum in critical reading, reflective thinking, and expository writing for theological education. Integrated modules review writing basics (parts of speech, sentence structures, grammar, punctuation); refine writing techniques (essay examinations, developing thesis, pre-writing, writing draft, making transitions, revising, editing, formatting, publishing to BlackBoard or professor); and research writing tools (interpreting syllabus, vocabulary builder, citations, style guides).

Designed to enhance essential writing skills of both English and International students, this course will incorporate self-assessment, personalized tool-kit, peer review, guided writing, reflection papers, and free writing.

Note: this course is technology driven. Students must know how to navigate Blackboard Learn; and are required to bring laptops, tablets, and smart phones to class.
