February 2025  Academic Mastery  Candidate  Hybrid
A Module in Grammar, Citing, & Humanities Writing [Tier 1 Cluster] • Non-Sequential Series
Mixed Lecture/Discussion

This module is part of the Academic Mastery program. Please apply to the AM program before enrolling in this course


This module is part of the Grammar, Citing, & Humanities Writing cluster.


Combining lectures and roundtables from Signum’s graduate faculty with interactive weekly tutorials, this five-week module is designed for students new to scholarly writing in the humanities, those returning to academic pursuits after time in other fields, or those who want to practice writing formal analysis of literary texts.
This Tier 1 module is open to all students and may be repeated as many times as desired, although we recommend completing the “Writing Formal Paragraphs” module before attempting this one. Students participate in weekly discussions and workshops, write weekly paragraphs, and complete a final written project.


Note: This module draws extensively upon lectures originally recorded for Foundations in Critical Reading and Research. Students in the MA program who have taken (or plan to take) that course may find significant overlap in the core materials.


  • Format:
  • 4 weeks discussion; 1 week assessment (4 hours video; 8 hours discussion and workshops)
  • Assessments: weekly & summative
  • No additional books or materials required.


  • Goals and Skills:
  • Students who complete the module will be able to identify meaningful textual elements and explain the significance of those elements.
  • Students may take this module to practice writing analytical paragraphs about literary texts.
  • Students may take this module to learn to write, or to practice writing, a close reading essay.


    • This course is graduate level in intensity, with weekly and summative assessments
