Graduate Writing II: Intermediate Composition Skills

Writing is more than just one step. It is a process that involves drafting and revising.

Writers often benefit from having a strong support network where they can share their work. For this Assignment, you’ll do just that! By sharing a piece of writing from your other class, you’ll gain even more perspective on your work. You can also use this feedback as you continue to strengthen your writing skills beyond this course.

• Option 1: Select an upcoming assignment or discussion from the program course you’re currently taking (such as Foundations). Write a first draft of at least 1 page of the assignment or discussion.
• Option 2: Select a previously submitted assignment or discussion from the program course you’re currently taking (such as Foundations). Choose a 1-page sample from the assignment or discussion to submit for feedback.
