Description:

This .5-unit course is designed to train students who will work as rhetoric and communication mentors. The course seeks to cultivate a broad and sophisticated understanding of rhetoric and communication, both in the context of the classroom and in the context of communication with faculty and students. We combine discussion of theories of rhetoric and communication, as well as peer tutoring theory, with discussions of pedagogy and practice in such areas as assignment design and evaluation, peer response and evaluation, and collaboration with faculty. A major component involves students designing and delivering messages and engaging in peer evaluation/critique.
