Rhetorical Analysis

Catalog description

This course provides an application of the communication theories learned in COM 2101. Through a series of reading and writing assignments, students interrogate the role of communication theory in human processes, the rhetorical nature of knowledge and learning, and examine the uses of rhetoric in a Christian context, both global and local through the lens of theory. A rhetorical analysis explores the rhetorician’s goals, the techniques (or tools) used, examples of these techniques, and the effectiveness of those techniques. Prerequisite: COM 2101 Communication Theory.
