Description

So many students come to my classes not knowing how to write a simple research paper. I decided to create these lectures so that people can learn how and when to cite the work of others, how to write a research paper, and how to recognize the common mistakes that I see over and over in the papers that my students submit.

Students will learn the basics of APA style citations, the research paper process that I've developed to make writing easier, and how to recognize and fix all the most common writing mistakes in academic writing.

Who this course is for:

  • High School Students
  • College Students
  • Technical Writers
  • Anyone who needs to write a formal, academic, technical, or scientific paper
