Learn to conduct efficient online research of quality primary and secondary sources, organize findings, draw conclusions, and write productive pieces of academic writing. Topics can be based on individual interest, but for the sake of scaffolding practices we will write an extended academic piece together, each will write their own academic piece, and we will workshop writing fragments, arguments, and interpretations of source material throughout.
Kyle Alvey is finishing his first year of my PhD in English: Literature, Theory, and Culture at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. He has adjuncted and taught over 150 credit hours of courses, mainly academic writing. His research interests are 20th and 21st century literatures, memory studies, and public histories/humanities. He is able to find materials to help with most research topics and/or connect students with experts in those fields.
This class is suitable for all levels.
