Instruction
As you move through your courses and progress closer and closer to your independent research, there will be a greater emphasis on your writing skills. While writing is a crucial part of completing your program, we would like you to reflect on other reasons why writing well is important.
Before responding to the discussion, review the Graduate Level Writing Refresher (Links to an external site.) that provides instructional material on six key steps:
Step 1: Graduate Writing Expectations
Step 2: Reading a Scholarly Journal Article
Step 3: Integrating Research
Step 4: Synthesizing Research
Step 5: Avoiding Over Quoting
Step 6: Incorporating Images, Figures, or Appendices
In the discussion board below:
Describe one specific step that you would like to learn more about.
Reflect on the feedback that you have received about your writing.
Share one concern or question you have about graduate writing.
This discussion will help us to support you in your continued development as a writer. Remember that becoming a strong graduate-level writer takes a lot of time and practice.
