Course Description

You know you're supposed to "find the gap" and "synthesize" the literature, but this course actually shows you how.

Writing Consultant and Professor

Dr. Daveena Tauber

Hello and welcome! Writing is central to how students and scholars communicate. I delight in helping academics at all stages express their research in writing that is appropriate for their fields and audiences. I earned my Ph.D. in English from Rutgers University and work with scholarly writers around the world. My work includes writing, consulting, giving workshops, and creating innovative digital curricula like this one.
