Editing Practice of scholarship (Spring 2016) (section)

=== Readings ===

Almost every week will have some required readings. In general, I will provide links to readings or distribute them via [https://canvas.northwestern.edu/courses/36533 Canvas]. You are expected to have read these before you come to class and to have prepared for discussion. There are also some suggested readings and other resources you might find useful.

There are two books that we will read multiple selections from. I recommend you buy both (in theory, you already own one of them from MTS 501). There are multiple editions of each and I don't care which edition you use (I think the chapter numbers and titles are consistent across them all):
* Booth, Wayne C., Gregory G. Colomb, Joseph M. Williams. ''The Craft of Research.'' Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
* Becker, Howard S. ''Writing for Social Scientists.'' Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
