Course details
On completion of this course students should be able to apply the reading, thinking and writing skills necessary for academic purposes utilising appropriate grammar and writing patterns. Students are familiarised with the stages of the writing process and assisted to apply a range of associated learning strategies. In addition, students develop strategies to plan and write paragraphs, using academic language and conventions. They are introduced to research, note-taking and referencing skills for this purpose. They are also encouraged to examine their own worldviews, and those of others, and to develop critical thinking skills. Students have the opportunity to participate in online discussion forums to support their learning. The course culminates with students planning and writing an academic essay, using independent research skills acquired throughout the course. Reflective practice is integral to the course and this enables students to consider the connection between their personal learning journal and the course outcomes.
