Expression and Voice: Writing Skills II

Building on strategies developed in AT 001, this course provides students with opportunities to extend and consolidate their writing skills with an emphasis on developing the specific sub-skills needed to prepare effective essays and research papers. Research strategies and research topics explored in AT 204 provide the framework for formal essay and research writing assignments; students develop an understanding of organizational patterns in essays, the steps involved in preparing research papers, and guidelines for formatting manuscripts. Students continue to extend their understanding of prewriting, revising, and editing strategies and are encouraged to develop a cohesive approach to writing assignments. An exploration of essential grammar, spelling, and mechanics continues to promote the development of independent proofreading skills while extensive word-building exercises provide students with opportunities to expand their vocabulary.
