This class is all about preparing students for the research writing process. Participants will be more prepared for their composition courses AND the classes within their major.

This class is taught in English.
Participants will learn how to ask a good research question, find scholarly sources, analyze those sources, organize a paper around a thesis, integrate sources into MLA in-text citations, and create a Works Cited page.
I was an English professor for 11 years. After receiving tenure and being promoted to Associate Professor of English, I decided to step away from higher education and become an independent educator and full-time writer. However, I never got burnt out on teaching composition! It is a wonderful and important subject! I have been teaching on Outschool since February 2020.
