Advanced Writing Requirement Workshop

Advanced Writing Requirement (AWR) Workshop will be offered Thursdays this spring from 3:35-4:25 p.m. This workshop will cover a basic research refresher, introduction to scholarly writing, and fundamental writing skills needed to complete the Advanced Writing Requirement at a B+ level or higher. It is a one-credit P/NC course. The course helps you complete the AWR; it does not satisfy the AWR by itself.

The syllabus and course policies are posted on the course TWEN page under Advanced Writing Requirement Workshop. Enrollment is by application only. If you would like to apply for this course, please click here or send me an e-mail at tmcgaugh@tourolaw.edu.

Students will be selected for the course according to the following criteria.

1. Highest priority is given to students who are in their last or next-to-last semester, who have yet to complete their AWR, and who think they could use help with their basic writing skills before graduation.

2. High priority is given to students in their second-year (FT) or third-year (PT) who have a referral from a professor or the writing center and who are currently enrolled in an Independent Study or course through which they plan to complete their Advanced Writing Requirement. High priority will also be given to students who self-identify as having difficulty with writing.

3. Lower priority will be given to students who are working on their AWR but do not evidence difficulty with the mechanics of writing or research, whether or not they have a referral from a professor.

4. Lowest priority will be given to students who are not working on their AWR but need a one credit course for their schedule. Students in this category will only be added if there are fewer than 5 students in categories 1-3 already enrolled on the first day the course meets (in the second week of class).

Thanks!
