Description:

Mini 2 (Genre Foundations) is designed for engineering students ready to focus on archival genres that report new knowledge, genres including but not limited to conference papers and journal publications. Students will learn principles of academic novelty and its history in the Royal Society. We will use customized software that give students a “zoomed-in” look at the impressive variety through which introductions establish significance and how they open a “gap” that the author’s research was designed to fill. We will overview the important genre features and functions of the various sections of the archival paper. Students are expected to bring to the course archival documents they are currently preparing to submit. Students will use the mini to execute a systematic revision of their document based on the genre functions and features discussed.

Prerequisites: ECE PhD standing is required
