Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll build on the research skills developed in Academic Development 1 by focusing on producing well-structured academic arguments. You’ll learn to:

• evaluate arguments thoroughly
• support your ideas with sound evidence
• reflect your point of view clearly.

Using the Canvas site, you’ll explore how expert writers in your subject area convey their arguments. You’ll then produce your own arguments aligned with the expectations of your academic discipline, helping you become part of your academic community.
