4. Students should continue to write good introductions, conclusions and transitional paragraphs. Students should try to compose well-developed topic sentences and thesis statements.
5. Students’ knowledge of different rhetorical styles, such as movie review, literary paper, autobiography, cover letter and resume, etc. will be expanded.The main objective of this course is that students acquire advanced academic writing skills and that all students should be able to produce well-written essays (4-5 pages).
