SUMMARY:Intro to University Level Writing
DESCRIPTION:Grade 12 students heading to post-secondary programs in the social sciences\, humanities\, arts\, sciences\, and business will be expected to have the skills necessary to write at the university level next year. However\, the quarter-system and other alternative school schedules have made it difficult for students to develop and hone these skills. \nThis course prepares students bound for post-secondary for the challenges of writing for different disciplines at the university level. It discusses strategies for successful research\, critical thinking\, and writing while giving students a chance to practice these skills and receive individualized feedback. Materials will be provided. \nWhat do students have to say?\n“I liked that the instructor provided good examples for us to fully understand what was expected of us and that there was the perfect balance of freedom to pick a topic but enough structure to help actually get started.” \n**The session will be interactive and dynamic. Students are encouraged to attendall sessions as each day will build on the next.
