Overview of class

ENGLISH 520 is the Professionalization Seminar students are required to take once before they graduate, ideally in the third year. We'll discuss professional norms and expectations in academic, alt-ac, and nonacademic jobs, keyed to students' particular interests, fields, and questions. Topics may range from article submission and revision; grant writing and project management; collaboration in research groups and with extra-university partners; best practices for a sustainable writing schedule; and job market preparation. English 520 is graded P/NP and requires minimal preparation outside of class.
