SESSION ON "HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ACADEMIC WRITING"
On Wednesday November 10, 2004, beginning at 3:30 pm in the Winters College Senior Common Room, we will present an interactive lecture and question and answer session by Professor Priscila Uppal. The topic of the
session is HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ACADEMIC WRITING.

This talk will focus on demystifying the writing process (and grading process!) for the production of effective
academic writing assignments at the undergraduate university level. Professor Uppal will discuss the assumptions
and expectations of learning in undergraduate university courses and how students can best prepare themselves to meet the challenges of critical reading, thinking, and writing. The interactive lecture is intended to be relevant to
students from a variety of disciplines and will offer students an adaptable model for the writing process from the
beginning to end of an assignment. The interactive approach is intended to encourage questions and discussion of
academic writing student concerns.
