  • 4/2 Graduate Seminar in Academic Writing: 4/02 to 4/30

    Spring 2019 2nd Seminar: 04/02 to 04/30 (5 weeks) – Tuesdays, 2pm to 3.45pm.

    Each academic year, the UConn Writing Center offers 3 no-cost, five-week seminars in academic writing for UConn graduate students. These seminars do not carry UConn academic credit, nor are they graded. We simply aim to assist motivated graduate students in developing strategies for writing that will serve them well in their academic and professional careers.The goal is to help graduate writers develop a toolbox of composing, revising, and peer-review skills.

    Participants must bring to the seminar a draft of a writing project (at least 5 double-spaced pages). Most seminar sessions involve working on this draft, and most of our time is dedicated to developing skills for revising and on cultivating productive writing habits.

    Participants should expect to commit 5 hours per week: 2 in class and 3 outside of class to complete readings and assignments.

    If you have questions about the seminar or are interested in seeing a syllabus, please contact the Coordinator for Graduate Writing Support at gradwriting@uconn.edu. The seminars are made possible through funding from the Graduate School and the University Writing Center.
