课程概述

Throughout the world, writing serves to express, record, and even create meaningful moments. In academic spaces, writing becomes the bridge between ourselves and the world of ideas. In this course, we provide practical insights into how to write an academic essay. We show you how to develop the academic skills needed to be a competent academic writer. You will have an opportunity to engage with texts written by academics, and to see how some of the ideas in these texts are used by students in constructing an academic essay. We address some of the challenges these students face with respect to academic writing and offer you the opportunity to practice and to develop your own writing style. For this course, we centre our lessons around a specific topic - the concept of identity, since it forms such an important feature of how we locate ourselves in an ever-changing global world. In other words, this course teaches academic writing skills through getting you to write and reflect on your understanding of identity. So if you are thinking about studying at a tertiary institution, or if you just want to brush up on your academic essay writing skills, this course is for you!...

A well-thought course that imparts the necessary skills in academic writing. While it is extremely useful to those who are new to academic writing, it is also a good refresher to anyone who has experience. The course also incorporates critical thinking skills as it looks into the main theme of identity and mobility. Assignments are also manageable and allow participants to dive into writing a proper essay. Highly recommend this course.

The course was beuatifully structured. I could evidently observe that the course was mindfully contructed to enable even the weakest student of english writing to develop and gain the skills and even become profecient in it. I thank the entire faculty involved in giving birth to the course back at University of Cape Town. Love from India to the makers of this course!

There is an error in the transcription. Play clip 7:40. The transcription has the word "I'm" but Dr. Woodard said the word "and". This changes the meaning of the sentence. This might be small but seeing and reading the text helps me understand what is being conveyed.
