Theme: Gen Z: Social Media, Social Networks, Social Change
Short Description: This course examines a topic that has defined the current generation: social media. In this course, students will focus on the effective use of language, analysis, and argumentation in college-level academic writing while considering the role that social media (in its many forms) plays in their own lives and in the lives of their peers, the members of Gen Z. Through course readings, discussion prompts, and major writing assignments, students will examine how social media has shaped their identity, including their values, beliefs, and aspirations, and will explore the role of social media in ongoing social change. In this course, students will develop their ability to write for a specific purpose and for a specific audience and to synthesize evidence from both popular sources and scholarly articles. Major assignments will include developing a research question and writing a research proposal, gathering and analyzing popular and scholarly sources to support the proposal, and writing a research review for an academic audience. This is an asynchronous online course which means you will need a functional device and stable internet access. The class also requires participation in two peer review sessions and one individual conference (via Zoom) with your instructor.
