The “Academic Writing Seminar” class will support graduate students in writing, refining, and advancing a scholarly paper for publication in an approved peer review journal of their selection. A student is expected to enter the course with a substantive draft paper from which they will be coached in refining and elevating for an academic audience. The paper will need to meet formatting conventions of the journal of their selection in length and style (such as APA 7th edition). The outcome of this course is the signature assignment entitled the “Qualifying Paper” which, upon approval, will indicate the paper is primed for journal submission. Doctoral students will produce an approved Qualifying Paper in order to advance to their Dissertation Proposal: Doctoral Research Design coursework. Students must demonstrate the ability to integrate and synthesize knowledge in a comprehensive and scholarly manner, illustrating the student’s readiness to begin the Dissertation Proposal. Students can also produce an approved Qualifying Paper outside of this course for advancement to their Dissertation Proposal, see Qualifying Paper Description for details.SPECIAL NOTES: N/A
