If you often feel that your ideas are better than your papers, join the summer writing course and improve your academic writing in all subjects. In this class, learn how to define a clear thesis and organize evidence to support it. You’ll practice structuring logical paragraphs, drawing convincing connections between them, and building up to a strong, emphatic conclusion. You’ll also learn to avoid common word use and grammatical errors that can detract from your arguments. You’ll finish this class with increased confidence
to tackle your future writing assignments.
