The purpose of this course is to help students write clearer and better organized research documents for professional settings. Although the major type of writing treated in this course is the experimental research paper, the information covered are relevant to writing theses, dissertations, conference papers, and research proposals. Guided by the IMRaD format, the course will focus on the information and language conventions of major sections of a research paper, including Introduction [with Literature Review] (I), Method and Materials (M), Results and Discussion (RaD), and Abstract. By the end of the course, students can expect to be able to: (1) understand the vocabulary and grammar features of empirical research paper writing, (2) become familiar with the content and organization of a research paper, (3) read critically and analyze a variety of research documents, and (4) understand and practice the skills needed to write a research paper including planning, drafting, revising and editing. We will also discuss some aspects of research paper writing, such as planning your publication, editing a research manuscript, avoiding plagiarism, and responding to reviewers.
