Featured Testimonial

Course Content

The relationship between reading and writing is often likened to inhaling and exhaling. Understanding how writers write, in terms of process and product, helps us develop our own craft. Thus, introduction to Writing in the Humanities is run quasi-workshop style, an immersion in both critical reading and writing. The course will cover key concepts and skills such as thesis development, argumentation, organization, and style.

Students will be introduced to manuals of style used in academic disciplines, including the Chicago Manual of Style, the official style used by the program. Students will regularly practice these skills through ongoing reading and writing assignments, including annotating texts, short essays, and culminating in a final longer-form paper.

Class Structure

The class will meet for three hours each week and will be composed of short lectures, class discussion, and small group workshops. Students are expected to keep up with reading and writing assignments in order to participate effectively in class.
