Struggling to write, dealing with insecurities and frustration, and not knowing how to structure or organize your ideas can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stuck. The workload in a graduate program is substantial, and most of it involves writing. The better you are able to communicate in your papers, the more successful you will be.
Learning to manage your mindset, your emotions, and your writing skills early on in your graduate school career will enable you to do your best work and keep cool as you handle all the expectations and assignments.
You will have enough to think about when you are in school- if your writing can be something that you can do seamlessly and with awareness, imagine how much easier and more pleasurable your experience will be!
This 3-day self-directed course begins the moment you register. Following your enrollment, you will receive Part 1 by email. The next day, you will receive Part 2, and on the third day you will receive Part 3.
Each lesson includes video instruction, a detailed workbook, and additional text and resources.
This online course is available for you to begin any time, and the lessons and materials are yours to keep and refer back to again and again. Take it on your own or coordinate taking it with a friend to go through it together!
After this powerful and impactful 3-day course, you will think about yourself differently as a writer and feel far more confident and ready for all the writing that lies ahead.
Each day’s video lesson is under 20 minutes. If you also interact with your workbook and access any additional resources or readings, you may spend approximately 30 minutes per day for each of the 3 days.

The Instructor- Jenna Kalinsky
This graduate school writing prep course was inspired by a talk created for The Mellon Mayes Undergraduate Fellowship Program at California State University San Bernardino. Designed to explore the mental, emotional, and practical elements of best practices in academic writing, the presentation was then expanded into this online course to support students aiming for graduate studies in the Humanities looking to find ways to feel more adept and confident in their writing skills and have a smooth and successful experience writing in graduate school.
