week 1 db introduction to scholarly writing caex

Are you ready to advance your scholarly writing? Do you want to become a more confident and effective writer? Are you willing to prewrite, draft, and revise (multiple times) your writing in a supportive environment? If so, you are in the right course.

You will spend the next 8 weeks working to advance your scholarly writing, receiving individualized feedback and group support. In this course, you will practice using writing skills and strategies for coursework, and have ample opportunities to use these concepts to practice as you draft and revise a 1-page evaluation of a selected journal article. In addition, at the end of the course, you will create a tailored plan based on you specific needs so that you can continue to make progress on your scholarly writing in your other courses at Walden.

During this first week, you will review the basic components of an effective writing process, analyze your writing needs, and begin to consider your writing strategy. If you successfully completed CAEX 6050: Graduate Writing I: Basic Composition Skills, then you can include a review of those skills in this first week.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Analyze previous experiences with writing skills
  • Connect scholarly writing skills with professional and academic goals
  • Share and support with peers

Your Experiences With Writing

Scholarly writing is an intricate component of your graduate work. A useful first step toward improving your writing skills is to examine your past experiences with writing, including your writing strengths and opportunities. From there, you can target your needs accordingly.

For this Discussion, you will explore the various resources and guidelines outlining an effective writing process and some common writing terms. You will also review the current state of your writing skills and share thoughts and experiences with your colleagues.

You will also use this Discussion to help tailor the individualized feedback provided by your Instructor throughout the duration of the course. Please be honest in your self-critique: it is the best way to make improvements.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review and complete the Self-Assessment found in the Learning Resources to develop your needs and goals for this course.
  • Reflect on your writing skills and identify two skill strengths and two skills for improvement.
  • Consider particular writing strategies that you currently using to build those skill strengths.

By Day 3

Post a 1- to 2- paragraph reflection on your writing skills, identifying two writing skills that you want to improve upon during this course. You may also include two writing strengths or strategies that may support your current writing process. Try and incorporate the terms from the Walden University Writing Center website in the Learning Resource for clearer definitions. Be sure to connect your scholarly writing skills with professional and academic goals, as well.
