Analysis, Argument, and Real-World Problems

4 credits

Focuses on developing skills in analytic reading and writing while using an interdisciplinary approach to asking and answering real-world questions. Lectures are topical and built around a series of readings that build in complexity and nuance; students work in an iterative process that builds toward a final policy memo project. Prerequisites: sophomore standing or above and completion of at least one quarter of a university-level writing course.
