- Writing and Rhetoric
II OnCampus (Junior Composition, English 3080J)
Lab-based.
This
course is primarily intended to improve writing skills -- but students
do so while developing strategies for using computers in the writing
process. Language proficiency from basic grammar to stylistic polish is
emphasized as a platform for higher concerns of structure and insight.
Computers are used as both content and tool. Assignments are drawn from
a range of styles and forms: descriptive, personal essay, narrative,
investigative, comparative, persuasive, analytical, and interpretive.
Critiquing of papers examines style, structure, and logic as in any
composition course.. (offered since 1995)
- Writing and Rhetoric
I OnCampus (Freshman Composition, English 1510)
Lab-based. This course uses a familiar art to illuminate and improve
writing skills. Movies give students a colorful, energetic source
of ideas and content to work with as they practice and experiment with
clarity, structure, fluency, and rhetorical control.
