- Research and Writing for Professional Programs - Fall 2004
- Research and Writing for Professional Programs (WRIT 303) is an introduction to academic writing and research. Students in this course learn to identify a research topic, conduct library and internet research, and develop a significant research paper in which they develop their own viewpoint on the topic. I take a theme-based approach to the course because most intellectual inquiry occurs within a specific discourse community.

My experience teaching this version of the course led me to return to a theme-based approach.
