Description

This course develops the practical skills and abilities needed for academic success at the graduate level. These include the fundamental skills of critical thinking; critical reading; note taking; problem solving; time management; seminar presentation; research; prevention of plagiarism and test-taking skills. The course takes a content-based approach to the development of these skills through the process of library searches for academic material, using the Mohammed VI Library search systems and databases. Students learn to develop annotated bibliographies and use of the Chicago Manual and APA styles of referencing. Content retrieved from the library searches is incorporated into a graduate-level research paper (10-15pages) that requires multiple drafts. The paper requires proper intext citation, and must comply with the conventions of academic writing. Progress is assessed at midterm and end of semester.
