This course seeks to prepare students to analyse and produce writing that meets the requirements of graduate studies. Through a guided process of engagement with the fundamental issues of knowledge creation and by continuous reading and writing on issues central to understanding communication, students will improve their skills in selecting and evaluating scholarly material used in Communication Research. During the course, students will also be introduced to the major journals, recent books and other publications in communication, including those from the Caribbean, North America and Europe as means of grounding scholarship in communication studies. Students will learn how to use and cite bibliographic material according to the American Psychological Association (APA) format as well as how to integrate graphics and tables into their work for seminar and conference presentations. This course is designed to complement courses in Research Methods in Communication and Communication Theories.
