Evaluation of an Integrated Bridging Course on Academic Writing for Overseas Postgraduate Students.
Felix, Uschi; Lawson, Michael
Higher Education Research and Development, v13 n1 p59-69 1994
A course in academic writing for international graduate students at Flinders University of South Australia was found to enhance students' written expression and structure. However, participants continued to produce high error rates in grammar and show weakness in developing an argument. Journal entries suggest participants began with overconfidence and moved toward a more accurate self-estimate. (Author/MSE)
