Writing Workshop for Thesis or Capstone Project

The Writing Workshop course is a three-credit research and writing course open to BAM students beginning to work on their thesis or capstone project. The course is designed to help students develop strategies for composing, drafting, and crafting the required prospectus. In addition, students may also begin to share early drafts of the thesis or capstone project. They will work on analyzing and synthesizing their materials in order to sharpen their approach to their scholarly topics. They will also work on developing their writing in logically framed and rhetorically convincing graduate-level prose. Students will produce multiple drafts, consider the best organizational approaches for their projects, develop and hone their authorial voices, develop strategies for building arguments that are supported by the evidence they have collected, and reflect upon their individual research and writing practices. Students will give and receive feedback from their peers as well as from the professor. Please note: This is an optional 3-credit course and it is not a substitute for the required BAM 79000 - Thesis / Capstone Project Supervision.
