Course Organization and Navigation
Although the course is organized along the chronology of a typical academic writing project, with the search for a topic and a supervisor at the start, and the publication of the result at the end, you do not need to work your way through each and every module to understand the subsequent ones. In particular, if you already have a topic and/or a supervisor, feel free to skip those units or click through them quickly. This tool is now yours and you can flip through it back and forth as you see fit.
The easiest place for you to navigate from will be Modules in the column on the left; this will show you the complete outline of this course, including assignments. For your convenience, the title of each module is listed below:
