ENC 1101 is a course in which students study how texts work and how to employ similar conventions in their own academic and public writing. While each section of the course will approach such study differently, all will provide opportunities for students to learn how to introduce a topic or issue, articulate a thesis, support and develop a thesis and subordinate claims, work with secondary sources, and organize an argument.
In this section, we will approach the issue of rhetoric as used in and informed by popular culture. We will rely on discussions of controversial issues to illustrate the various approaches to argumentation. Throughout, we will be discussing the impact of technology on our language, and accordingly, we will rely heavily on web resources.
Because we will be discussing controversial issues, it is essential that we all maintain a level of maturity and mutual respect appropriate for a University student. Therefore, offensive language, personal attacks, or any derogatory statements directed at other students will not be tolerated.
This course satisfies
the requirements of the Gordon Rule if all assigned work is completed.
