Catalog description

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. In this class, we'll consider the role that memoir and its companion forms play in our understanding of what it is to be a human being in a social, historical world. We'll consider together why people write about the most thrilling, devastating, and embarrassing events of their lives and what audiences gain by reading these accounts.
