Writing Skills
Access and read the Graduate Writing Handbook. In a 3- to 4-page paper, address the following questions:What is the biggest surprise to you about graduate-level writing? As a writer, what strength will be most useful to you? As a writer, what challenge is still troubling to you? Much of graduate-level writing is about understanding the specific requirements you need to fulfill and the general protocols of academic writing. Have you learned more about these? Can you see the knowledge gained in prior/shorter papers as a useful tool for the process of writing a long paper or doctoral study? Do you feel confident (or more confident than you were before) about how to complete or improve writing projects? Do you feel confident in fulfilling the role as your own first and final editor in order to produce refined scholarly writing? Do you know where and how to get help with your writing? As you assess your skills and experiences and reflect on your progress, write two concrete writing goals to assist you with the successful completion of your Doctoral Study.
