UWS 1a University Writing Seminar for Multilingual Students
[ uws ]

An option for students to participate in a learning community with fellow students whose first or strongest language is not English. Focusing on multicultural or translingual themes, the course challenges students to formulate meaningful ideas, support those ideas with evidence and analysis, and convey thinking clearly and persuasively. Every seminar teaches transferable writing skills that students will use across the Brandeis curriculum and beyond. As students complete a series of writing assignments, they engage in a process of reading, drafting, reviewing, revising, and working collaboratively in peer groups and individually with instructors. Usually offered every year.
