Getting Your Reading into Your Writing


Powerpoint slides will be available soon


Presenter: Christine Tulley, Professor of English, Founder and Director of the Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing, The University of Findlay


Christine TulleyMany scholarly writing projects require engagement and citation of previous literature to situate an argument or purpose. Yet new and experienced academic writers struggle to determine 1) which sources are best suited for the project, 2) how much citation is needed, and 3) how to take notes on sources and move notes on sources into a writing project.

In this one webinar, learn how to systematically cite, analyze, interpret and comment on judiciously selected past scholarly literature to situate your writing project.
