ELI Workshop: Writing in "Academic Style"

WEIS 110
Meredith Bricker

Whether you are writing a research article, class assignment, conference abstract, or dissertation, the words, grammatical structures, and organizational patterns you use all signal whether your text sounds “academic.” In this workshop, we will define ‘academic style’ and analyze its features in different types of writing assignments. You will learn how to make effective stylistic choices that convey your ideas smoothly and clearly and express your individual academic identity, too. Bring a text you are currently working on for analysis. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions.
