This is a REd Synchronous (live) class.

While academic reading and writing can be challenging even for the most experienced researchers, the highly specialized discourses of our disciplines can be particularly mystifying and intimidating for emerging researchers. This class covers principles and strategies for supporting mentees’ academic literacies, and encourages mentors to recognize and value language expressions.

Class Objectives: At the conclusion of this class, you should be able to:

  • Develop methods of providing effective feedback on researcher writing
  • Connect mentees with on-campus resources for research writing
  • Identify considerations/implications of mentorship in academic reading and writing for mentees of all backgrounds

This class counts towards the Research Mentoring Certificate.


REd Synchronous classes are taught by subject matter experts and provide both fundamental and advanced skills training in flipped classroom format. To register for upcoming trainings,  click here to view our calendar.
