EN­G1101 Fall 2019 MORN­ING

This course will focus on es­sen­tial crit­i­cal think­ing, read­ing, and writ­ing abil­i­ties that you will come to use in this class, in all of your other classes, and be­yond, in the pro­fes­sion­al­ized work­ing world. The point, and my role, is not to tell you what ex­actly to write, not even nec­es­sar­ily how to write, but to offer a struc­tured forum in which you can learn the un­der­ly­ing, prac­ti­cal pro­ce­dures used to ap­proach any writ­ing or read­ing sit­u­a­tion. We will call these dif­fer­ing tex­tual sit­u­a­tions “rhetor­i­cal sit­u­a­tions” and we will call this process of teach­ing meth­ods (rather than in­for­ma­tion) “trans­fer”. Through en­gag­ing dif­fer­ent rhetor­i­cal sit­u­a­tions, we will begin to con­sider who is speak­ing, who they are speak­ing to/for, and why they’re even speak­ing at all! Through per­sonal ex­plo­ration, rhetor­i­cal analy­sis, and re­search, we will also look at the vary­ing so­cial con­texts in which some kind of spe­cific mean­ing is ex­changed. The class will in­volve as­sign­ments en­gag­ing with a wide range of media and how these media ex­press the world we in­habit. While the goals of this course are com­mu­nal, one’s jour­ney through writ­ing is in­tensely per­sonal, and with that in mind, we will fos­ter an en­vi­ron­ment in which our unique voices, styles, and dis­po­si­tions can be heard and cri­tiqued as we en­gage im­por­tant so­cial, cul­tural, and ex­is­ten­tial re­al­i­ties. And fi­nally, we are here, my­self in­cluded, to grow as thinkers and writ­ers.
