I’m a doctoral student in Composition at another university. I find these podcasts are very fitting for anyone writing academic paper, and additionally the delivery approach is accessible and gets me in the mood to write! Thank you for sharing with people beyond Walden.💌
Apple Podcasts5doc student in FloridaUnited States6 years ago - The perfect podcast for experienced and beginning academic writers.
I found this podcast as an undergraduate student and it helped me to understand and reinforce the different elements of academic writing that I had learned in my composition classes.
Now that I am a grad student and TA , I use this podcast as some assigned “reading” for my composition students.
This is podcast is extremely beneficial for anyone in undergrad or grad school!
