Research Skills and Strategies

Using both individual and small group work, this course builds on the skills taught in EAP084, including critical thinking, engaging with academic materials, and developing effective research strategies with the end goal of being better prepared to meet the requirements of academic classwork. In working toward the students' academic courses, time will be spent on understanding assignment descriptions and framing the task, as well as on critical reading skills using extended academic readings. EAP086 will also include workshops developed in conjunction with the RRU library to sharpen students' abilities in selecting, evaluating, and using academic sources.
