AK2 'Good Writing'

AK2 is the basic writing course in the English Translation curriculum, taught in one-hour weekly groups in both the Fall and Spring terms. AK2 covers personal, professional and academic documentation in English, with attention to cultural standards and expectations as well as the influence of new technologies on traditional written style.

AK2 is worth 4 ECTS credits, and is graded on the averaging of a minimum of six written assignments plus an examination on writing and documentation standards. Students should subscribe to the AK2-L class e-mail list.

AK2 is prerequisite for subsequent writing courses in the ETRAN curriculum, as well as the AK1 Finnish Institutions Research Paper. While an 'Intermediate Studies' course, AK2 may be taken by roughly half of each first-year student group during their second (Spring) term, so they may qualify for AK1 in the first term of their second year. Classes are restricted to UTA English Translation major and minor degree students. AK2 is not open to international students.
