WRIT 1301 introduces students to rhetorical principles that provide a framework for successful written communication in college and beyond. Students study and write in a variety of genres and disciplines, and in multimodal forms. The courses focus on writing as a way of knowing and learning to develop ideas through critical thinking, including analysis and synthesis. Based on the assumption that writing is a social activity, the course is a workshop format and requires active engagement in the writing process, including pre-writing, peer review, revision, and editing. Students develop information literacy and hone the ability to locate, evaluate, and effectively and ethically incorporate information into their own texts. The blended model combines two credit hours/week of small face-to-face class with two credit hours of online instruction in Canvas. Some sections are dedicated for international and multilingual students. WRIT 1301 fulfills the first-year writing requirement.

The main purpose of the Capstone courses is to provide a culminating, integrative scholarly experience for students enrolled in the Dual Degree BSDH/MDT program. As such, in addition to utilizing knowledge gained throughout the 8-semester program, the course draws specifically on students? prior training in Research and Dental Public Health. The course allows students to pursue an independent, project-based topic from one of their interests in the field of oral health. The course is intended to be an intensive, active-learning project, requiring significant effort in the planning and implementation, as well as preparation of a substantial final written product and oral presentation. A Capstone is a systematic investigation of a subject including library and/or original research. Projects are intended to assimilate knowledge gained in courses in order to create a comprehensive, original project. While Capstone projects provide invaluable preparation for professional careers, students report that the primary rewards are intrinsic: the opportunity to follow one?s curiosity, to take ownership of a project and see it through to a successful conclusion, the intellectual and creative pleasure of independent learning, and the mentorship by one?s advisor. Because the written portion of the project is generally quite long, it is essential to devote substantial time to the research and writing of the paper. However, learning to be concise is a valuable skill to master.
