RESD 630 Digital Research and Academic Writing (3 Credits)
This service course will guide students through the components of writing a graduate-level paper. The initial steps include selection of resources, analysis of content, and preparation of annotations, the foundation sources needed for the content. Next, are the creation of a working outline and the synthesis of the annotations into meaningful sections. Last, is the discussion that makes the paper meaningful and adds something to current literature. A set of writing specifications for APA style, use of quotations, and writing and language issues will be distributed to be used as guidelines. Students will write within content areas that match their professional interests.
