Advanced Academic Writing II
Advanced Academic Writing II
Advanced Academic Writing II is a continuation of Advanced Academic Writing I (AAWI) from the spring semester; therefore successful completion of AAWI is prerequisite for taking this course. Using the fundamental skills of academic writing acquired during the spring semester, students will focus on producing a fully documented research paper in English (8-12 substantial paragraphs in length). Students will thus systematically study the research process and learn how to present research into a cohesive, logically organized paper, with a special focus on proper format and citation of source material. This process will also include writing an abstract (summary) and an oral presentation of research findings.

As a result of taking this course, students will be able to:
1) apply the fundamental rules of page layout in word processing for research papers in English.
2) identify and evaluate potential resources of information.
3) select a topic, then systematically conduct original research, and write a fully documented research paper.
4) summarize the thesis and contents of the research paper in an abstract and PowerPoint or video presentation.

The final grade will be determined by: (1) class work, homework, and class attendance; (2) research paper and abstract; (3) research presentation; and (4) semester test.
Reference materials and practical activities will be provided on a weekly basis in printed and/or digital form. All assignments and class prints, furthermore, should be saved and carefully stored in a notebook.
Note that the Style Guide of the Modern Language Association (MLA) will be used for the general research paper format of this course.
There is a lot of homework in this course, especially in completing the various research steps according to strict—yet reasonable—deadlines. Because most of the learning is based on actually doing a series of tasks, success in this course depends on consistent effort outside of class hours and timely completion of all of the tasks.
Class attendance is expected at all times. Absences will adversely affect your grade in this course.
In principle, no auditors will be accepted.
