This course equips graduate students with advanced academic writing skills essential for producing high-quality research papers, dissertations, and publications. Emphasis is placed on the synthesis of scholarly literature to construct well-supported arguments, the application of proper citation and referencing styles (APA, MLA, or discipline-specific formats), and the development of cohesive, logically structured paragraphs that communicate complex ideas with clarity and precision. Students will engage in critical reading, practice integrating multiple sources into original analysis, and refine their ability to write with academic rigor and integrity.
