"scrawled a few things."

I do believe that Moses wrote the majority of the
Torah. The passages that would come into question are
these:

Deuteronomy 34

5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the
land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 
6 And he was buried in the valley in the land of Moab
over against Beth-peor; and no man knoweth of his
sepulchre unto this day. 
7 And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he
died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force
abated. 
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the
plains of Moab thirty days; so the days of weeping in
the mourning for Moses were ended. 
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of
wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the
children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the
LORD commanded Moses.
