Teaching Scholarly Writing to Doctoral Students:

Giving Novice Scholars a Running Start

Bruce Barnett, Rosemary Caffarella, Michael Gimmestad

University of Northern Colorado

Abstract: Students entering doctoral programs in adult education and related fields often experience culture shock. Perhaps the biggest adjustment is learning how to think and write like a scholar. This paper examines how involvement by doctoral students in a formal scholarly writing project during their first semester of study influenced their subsequent doctoral experience and professional work.
