UPCOMING COURSES
Students are guided in strategic information literacy skills as they begin to identify, read, and analyze arguments about social and cultural issues that are important to them. While paying close attention to other arguments, students also practice commenting and evaluating to begin forming their own opinions about relevant issues. The course then helps students articulate a context for their own arguments and begin gathering evidence for their own claims and conclusions. Before they write their own final arguments, students are encouraged to play with argument through forms and modes outside of the traditional academic essay. Reflection on this experimentation helps students contextualize written argument alongside other possibilities for informing and persuading audiences.

First Year Writing I
Students learn about writing processes, explore genre conventions, and gain rhetorical knowledge while writing through their experiences and memories. With these more personal contexts as background, students are guided over the course of the semester towards becoming more comfortable with the conventions and habits of academic argument.
