WRIT - 200. Advanced Rhetoric and Writing


3 credit(s)
Rhetoric is the study and art of persuasion: understanding how “texts” are constructed to persuade specific audiences to think or believe a certain way. Speeches and essays are rhetorical “texts” for sure, but advertisements, films, music, and art can be defined similarly. In WRIT-200, students will be asked to critique and analyze rhetorical “texts” that extend beyond written modes of persuasion. The purpose of this course is to help students become familiar with the role of context, audience, and purpose in the creation of a variety of rhetorical texts. No exam.
