DBUA 8305 The Craft of Resrch & Writing
This class teaches students how to write clearly and effectively both in their academic research and in their professional lives. It sets forth the principles of writing from a reader's point of view, beginning at the sentence level and proceeding to the level of the document. By learning concepts such as "nominalization", "information flow", "point", "argument", "warrant", and "problem", students learn not only how to navigate the academic writing that they read, but how to lead their own readers when they write. The course will also cover the importance of setting up a valuable problem, and how to explain its rationale with a cogent and well-supported argument. Enrollment restricted to DBA students only.
