Rhetoric, Writing, and Public Discourse 180: Processes and Practices of Writing

This course extends students’ practices and understanding of college-level academic writing processes. The course focuses on strategies and structures that support thesis-driving writing and repeated revision. Through extensive and recursive writing practice, the course emphasizes reflection on students' own writing processes and practices. Students will learn from this reflection ways to intervene in their own writing practice to encourage complexity of ideas, careful evidence evaluation and integration, and diverse revision approaches. Open to all students and fulfills the College’s Writing Across Contexts requirement.
