Writing Transfer across Contexts

Catalog description

This course focuses on writing transfer. Students will engage with transfer by transferring a written, verbal, and/or audio project of their choosing from one context and format to a different context and format. Course theoretical concepts include writing transfer; rhetorical context; text format and design; genre; and disciplinary and writing-occasion conventions and expectations. These include global-level issues (design, audience, evidence, epistemology, organization, structure, argument, etc.) and sentence-level issues (paragraphs, clarity, powerful prose, etc.). Students will discuss drafts-in-progress, create interim project phases, and engage in intensive peer feedback.
