ELIP 5120 - Graduate Reading and Writing

Designed to help international graduate students work toward their goal of becoming independent and skilled readers and writers in their disciplines. Course writing assignments focus on their disciplines and include summaries, response papers, and essays. The course also addresses plagiarism and citation of sources, ways to develop a more academic vocabulary, and grammar topics such as verbs, articles, and sentence control. Reading skills are strengthened using texts from students’ academic courses. Whenever possible, students work on assignments they have for discipline-related courses, and individualized attention is given.
