Rationale
|
This course is the alternative to
FD10A, and along with UC10B, is the alternative to UC10A. Students
with a pass in CAPE Communication Studies would already have
covered some of the content in FD10A and UC 120. This course
will offer such students an alternative in which they will acquire
other essential writing skills, as well as an appreciation of
the manner in which academic language reflects the thinking
within each discipline.

4. write in a variety of formats on discipline-related issues

5. use approved citation and documentation techniques in written
