This course will provide students with the opportunity to apply and refine basic college writing skills to create effective academic prose. Develop analytical, research, and writing skills at the upper level.

Proposal Writing offers a way of honing these skills in a concrete, real-world context. Students will read and analyze sample proposals and build on basic communication theory to learn what constitutes appropriate proposal content and format. Students will learn how to find, use, and evaluate the quality of evidence to logically support their proposal ideas. Students will write a short academic proposal and two longer, formal, work- or community-related proposals. They will share and provide feedback on drafts as part of learning how to analyze a proposal’s effectiveness.Prerequisite (must complete before registering): Ability to do advanced-level workNotes: Students cannot take both versions of the course.
