McNair Scholars
MCNR - McNair Scholars
MCNR-200: McNair Scholars Seminar (Credits: 0 to 1)
This class introduces students to high-impact graduate school preparation, and includes GRE preparation, library instruction, graduate application preparation, and information about publishing.
MCNR-301: Writing for Professional Research (Credits: 2)
Involvement in the McNair program shows your engagement not only with academic inquiry in general, but with a specific discipline. This course will give you the opportunity to reflect on and develop your writing within that discipline as you prepare for your summer research project. Our readings and class discussions will examine what it means to be part of a discipline, how scholars in various fields do their work, and how writing functions within your own field. Written assignments will involve a literacy narrative of your experience learning to write academically, a review of the scholarly literature you will draw on in your project, and the research proposal itself. You will also give and receive feedback on your writing in class workshops and receive feedback in individual draft conferences.
