Writing & Rhetoric is a requirement in the College of First Year Studies. In my small section, I was able to sharpen my writing style and learn how to really enjoy writing. The focus of the course was on how different media can change the messages in American society.

"This course focuses on the relationship between media, writing, thinking, and argumentation. We will discuss how to analyze arguments and ideas in texts (primarily written and visual rhetoric) and how to write about them critically and clearly. Students will not only learn how to analyze and construct arguments clearly and persuasively, but also, how to write ethically both in informal writing and in academic papers." -from Writing & Rhetoric (Section 23) Syllabus
