Abstract - This paper describes the Academic Writing
Course offered in the Computer Science Department at
the University of California, Santa Barbara. We
conceived the course to go farther than a generic writing
course, and developed an innovative curriculum that
specifically addresses the rigorous demands on
Computer Science graduate students to produce
research papers for acceptance at the best conferences.
We focus on how the course design and execution
address the challenges we observe in student writing,
