Writing and Rhetoric

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Writing and Rhetoric introduces students to the study and composition of ethical arguments. Engaging with a variety of rhetorical situations and genres, students will make claims supported by evidence, consider counterarguments, and conduct research. Special attention is devoted to the collaborative, social, and iterative aspects of the writing process, as students exchange feedback with their peers and subsequently revise their work. Students will also reflect on their development as writers and critical thinkers.
