ARSC 152 - Academic Transitions Capstone

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Arts and Science

Description:

Navigating the genres of any academic discipline requires students to study the ways language is used in their fields. The purpose of ARSC 152 is to develop students' genre awareness and language proficiency by making language not only the outcome of the course but also the content of the class. You will learn how to analyze disciplinary texts by identifying the typical staging of the target genre along with specific language features, such as stance, hedging, citation practices, nominalization, pronouns, reference, cohesion, and information structure. To do this, you will conduct original research within your chosen major (or a subject area of your choice). You will confirm your findings through library research and interviews with peers, mentors, and faculty in your discipline. The course culminates in a student-led conference with poster presentations to an invited audience.
