The Rhetorics of Style

Catalog description

A rhetorical study of different views of style, this course focuses on how to write clearly and effectively. Systematically, students learn and practice strategies that are both stable and dynamic relative to the basic structures of sentences, paragraphs, and documents and participatory in the unfolding of human inquiry. By using a historical approach, the course also guides students in practicing the strategies by reflecting and writing on topics such as grammar and style, the politics of style, and the ethics of style. Prerequisite: ENG 110 . Offered Occasionally.
