SBSF 6000 - Graduate Writing


(4 cr.) This course is designed to improve the writing skills of two groups of students: those whose course instructors have recommended they enroll in a writing skills course and those who wish to improve their writing to enhance their ability to succeed in Walden’s writing-intensive courses and KAMs. Course readings, activities, and assignments provide models to help students create their own writing processes, teaching them how to generate ideas, give those ideas initial shape in essay drafts, revise drafts based on instructor and colleague feedback, and edit and proofread final drafts. Establishing these individual processes will hone the analytical and writing skills students need to perform at a graduate level, and give students and instructors opportunities to assess and strengthen students’ proficiency level. Major projects include summary, rhetorical analysis, research, and self-reflection essays and peer review of these essays. Note: This course is for quarter-based master’s-level students.
