Theme: From Instagram to the New York Times to the Academic Journal Short Description: In this course, we?ll look at topics that matter most to you ? from social justice to science and technology to topics around climate change to education and the educational system to the arts and humanities. Topics over which you research and write may be of relevance to you professionally (in terms of your major and/or field of interest) or personally (what matters to you in terms of where you live, your family, your community, etc.). What?s ultimately important is that you find your own voice as a writer, and much of that stems from selecting contemporary topics that you feel are worthy of consideration and research. While I?ll guide you through the process, you?ll create the focus. We will work with a range of texts (from news articles to graphics and videos to scholarly and research-oriented texts). As we do so, we?ll consider how meaning is presented and conveyed through different texts, ranging from social media to news sources to academic source materials. We?ll consider topics that are current and relevant, and through our work we?ll look at (as readers and writers) how to determine credibility. Revision is a major focus of this course. The course is asynchronous: students will meet semi-regularly/remotely with a Writing Assistant, and individually with me through the 10-week summer quarter.
Add deadline: June 30, 2023, at 5 pm.
