RHET 355 - Quantum Writing IV

Institution:

Rockford University

Subject:

Description:

RHET355 is the fourth course in the Quantum Writing sequence. The sequence begins in RHET352 by framing a research project that culminates in RHET355 with the presentation / marketing of a documentary. Students may take any course in the sequence. RHET355 provides students with advanced skills in argumentation by asking that they publicize and market the documentary finished in the previous semester, present the documentary in appropriate settings, and moderate discussions produced by the documentary. Working on the class CBL project, which is chronicled in a documentary, serves as an example common to all the students as they study and develop written, oral, and visual rhetorical practices. Students will then apply what they have learned to their own written assignments. RHET355 continues the creation of this narrative voice formed in the previous semester in terms of developing appropriate forums for public viewing of the film, essay contests, and community discussions. This community-based learning project will facilitate an environment in which students consider how their skills may be applied to resolving issues arising within the civic contexts of the workplace, neighborhoods and schools. Interdisciplinary reading and writing assignments, as well as interaction with various segments of the community of the city Rockford and interdisciplinary teaching, will provide models that make connections among disciplines and will demand that students develop strategies for synthesizing the knowledge they have acquired. This course meets the upper division Rhetoric requirement. Because of the variance in content, it may be repeated for elective credit. PRQ: Grade of "C" or above in Rhetoric 102 or equivalent and 45 hours of college course work Scheduled: Fall and spring as indicated by sequence Meets: Rh C
