ENGL 20800 Introduction to Writing and Rhetoric
This course will survey the field of rhetoric and composition, an area of English studies that explores the act of writing and communication. The course will allow students to take concepts practiced in first-year writing courses and learn the theory behind why we write, as well as how we write. We will study classical and contemporary ideas relating to the subject of writing and persuasion, and implement these skills in writing assignments. The goal of this course is to engage students more thoroughly in the theory and practice of writing, ultimately leading to a student who is a more thoughtful, expressive writer and critical thinker.
