Academic Research and Writing Skills

Pre-University Course

Course Overview

At university, students are expected to write essays in a range of subjects. In fact research and writing form a major part of their final grades. Strong writing, research, and analytical skills give students a clear edge, both for success at university and in their future careers. 

This course gives students practical training in research and academic writing. Along with theory, they will actively work on short, engaging tasks that build critical thinking, clear organisation of ideas, and persuasive writing skills. It’s a fast-paced, stimulating program where students learn by doing. Through guided practice and feedback, they will learn how to approach university-level writing with clarity, purpose and confidence.

As an ISC student, I was not very well versed with research and complicated concepts but thanks to the Courseleap team and Miss Chrisann I have much better insight on how to breakdown a research paper and use it for your own research while avoiding falling into traps which are more susceptible for students belonging to an Indian Board.
