RSP 102 - Russell Scholars Academic Writing


Building on the fundamentals learned in RSP 100 (the writing process, revision, and critical reading), RSP 102 focuses on argumentative and researched-based writing. Students learn that academic work is a process of inquiry by engaging in academic modes of reading and writing (analysis, synthesis, critique, and argument) to address questions about critical issues. Students engage in independent research, learning how to make connections between sources and how to add to those connections by articulating their own perspectives and positions. Students develop a comprehensive information literacy that they can apply throughout their college career.
