Selection Guidelines
Instructors will nominate the strongest research essay from each section of AWR 201 for evaluation by an editorial committee from the Academic Writing program. Those essays will be reviewed by the editorial board for possible inclusion in the annual issue of Royal Road: A Journal of Undergraduate Research. Section nominees may be determined either by the course instructor or by the students within a section, but only section nominees will be eligible for publication. In rare instances where more than one truly exceptional research essay is written within a single section, an instructor may nominate a second essay for selection.
