Course content
|
Students will learn how to structure a research paper using the IMRD template. Using practical examples, they learn how to construct the different parts of an article while retaining previously acquired knowledge of paragraph construction. They gain knowledge of practical lexical and sentence structures appropriate for the production of an academic text, including citation apparatus and a list of references. In this subject, students learn through peer group critical review, critique, and proofreading.
