LAE 501 Writing from Reading

Whether students are writing nonfiction articles and books or business reports, they need to translate research into accessible written communication. By analyzing articles and books that succeed in doing this effectively, students learn to develop their own clear and lively papers, book reviews, and publishable articles. They examine how writers incorporate research, making graceful attributions without employing the lengthy, scholarly citations and commentary of an academic paper. Students explore various types of magazines to help them find their niche as professional writers. They write a research-based article with that publication in mind. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
