Reading and Writing in the 21st Century

Catalog description

This course provides tools for students to employ a critical analysis across a range of texts which may include literature (both fiction and non-fiction) and other forms of expression. Discussions focus on applying this analysis in both scholarship and everyday life. Students refine their abilities to read closely and critically, to analyze written and visual texts using a variety of academic approaches, and to engage in the writing process and other thoughtful means to develop skills of critical interpretation of diverse forms of communication. They learn to become more discerning readers and writers and how these skills can be transferred to other personal and professional applications in the pursuit of a more sustainable, just, and equitable world.
