Though this is an online asynchronous course, we will consistently interact as a community using online platforms. You can expect to regularly work with your instructor and classmates to improve your own writing, and to help others as well. Please note that as part of the class, you will be asked to sign up for periodic conferences/workshops on Zoom.
This is an online course, which means you will need a functional device(s) and stable internet access.
Add deadline: June 28 at 5 p.m.
From the instructor - Theme: Writing with Agility. This course is foremost about versatile communication and research. Whether we realize it in the moment or not, all of us frequently shift our written, spoken and body language depending on our audience, context, and purpose. In Writing with Agility, you will build upon your pre-existing communication skills and intuition, sharpening your ability to write effectively across a wide variety of contexts and disciplines. In this course, you have the freedom to choose your own research topic, which you will follow throughout the course as you hone a range of critical reading and research skills. Together, we will study and apply key rhetorical concepts including audience, genre, rhetorical situation, disciplinary discourse, and purpose. Course readings will be drawn from a variety of academic and non-academic sources, including non-textual. Writing assignments will emphasize research, critical thinking, intellectual empathy, metacognition, and the reflective writing process. Ultimately there is no one right way to write, because different situations call for different kinds of writing. This course will help you build a set of tools to tackle college level writing assignments as well as a multitude of rhetorical situations beyond the classroom.
