The predominant metaphor of this book emphasizes an academic dialogue – the conversation of students with peers (class dialogue and peer review), of students with professors (information and feedback), of students with and as scholars (research and talking back), and of students with themselves (reflection). Designed to work with the required freshman writing and research course, its co-requisite course, and the Writing Across the Curriculum approach course for teaching both, Reinventing the Freshman Writing and Research Course is organized according to a fifteen-week semester comprised of five units:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntering the Academic World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding a Research Topic and Question\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding and Assessing Existing Academic Dialogues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormalizing Our Contributions to the Dialogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresenting Our Discoveries and Conclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of these units outlines its own objectives, but in general, the course objectives include leading students to demonstrate an understanding of writing as a multi-stage process; to produce texts that present ideas effectively and fluently; to use appropriate research methods; and to develop the foundations for creative, independent, and critical thinking that considers a multiplicity of perspectives and disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe predominant metaphor of the book emphasizes an academic dialogue – the conversation of students with peers (class dialogue and peer review), of students with professors (information and feedback), of students with and as scholars (research and talking back), and of students with themselves (reflection).
