Graduate students who would like to develop their writing skills will have the opportunity to practice drafting and revising a variety of advanced writing assignments common to the graduate experience. Students will first study the rhetorical features associated with various advanced graduate writing genres before producing disciplinary-specific versions of these texts.

Prerequisites: Graduate students must have completed no more than one year of course work to enroll. Should students attempt to enroll in any section of this course other than GRAD/WRIT 280AA, students must ensure that their disciplinary field is included in that special topic of the course.

Dr. B was amazing! I took her for an online summer course and even with the fast-paced weeks she took time to give good feedback and wants her students to do well. 10/10 would recommend and take her again!

I love Dr B!!! This was my favorite class of the quarter. Very well paced, with few smaller projects to help lead to the big end-of-quarter grant proposal. Shes uses specs grading which makes this class low stress. Would recommend this GE to everyone!

Dr. B is the best!!! Short readings and homework. The class was well paced and the content was straightforward. She answers emails quickly and is always there to help during her office hours. She gives excellent, helpful feedback on assignments.

Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had as well as one of the most helpful courses I've ever taken. If you're thinking of going to grad school this class is a huge help in learning about academic research and writing, and Baillargeon makes it less stressful to process. Everything is explained well and you get a ton of good feedback.

Dr. B is so chill! Always responds to everyone super fast (she made a class group me which was helpful). I never did the reading and I still got good grades on the assignments bc she covers everything in lectures (which are super short). She is super fun and isn't afraid to laugh at herself! I recommend taking Dr. B for any writing class!
