LAE 510 Rhetorical Theory and Practice: Standards of Written Communication

What makes for good writing? Students ask this question of great writers, philosophers, and their literary critics from the classical Greek era to the contemporary period. Students write original scenes and reviews that meet classical standards of excellence but also expand their awareness of diverse writers and critics and changing standards that reflect new perspectives. Considering established classics and authors and literary critics that might have been neglected in the past, students select their candidates for classics and the approach to literary criticism that best suits their outlook and writing skills. Pre-requisite(s): Graduate status; or permission of the Program Chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
