ESL 502: Advanced Academic Writing I

Day 1: Course Introduction

 

Writing a thesis or dissertation is more than writing a paper: it's a life experience.
In small groups, discuss the following questions:
  1. What do you like about writing?
  2. What scares you about writing?
  3. What is the last thing you wrote in English? Your next project?
Homework:
Read the case studies on James Carthly and Ted Maren before our next class.

A copy of the Hacker text is recommended for this course.
