Urban Research Writing

This course will assist students in developing the skills necessary for graduate level writing in Urban Affairs. The focus will be on developing writing skills in three specific areas: (i) writing in response to texts; (ii) writing across texts (comparing and contrasting); and (iii) writing a research paper on a topic in urban studies. In each instance original drafts will be revised for clarity of content. The course will review the steps in writing a research paper including choosing topic, developing a cogent thesis, using the library and Internet for research note taking, and drafting and revising the finished paper.
