ENG 560 - CRITICAL WRITING

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

This course invites graduate students to examine writing as an essential tool for exploring, questioning, and creating intellectual knowledge in academic and public spaces. Students will develop a conceptual framework for critical writing through the study of rhetorical theory, genre theory and composition theory. Central to the course are writing workshops in which students share drafts of course assignments. In these workshops, students develop and understanding of themselves as writers, while exploring a variety of styles and rhetorical approaches for communicating with specific audiences both within and beyond the graduate classroom. As students explore the new genres and increased expectations that come with advanced scholarly writing, they will practice: choosing a point of inquiry; gathering research; developing a position; choosing style and voice; using readers' feedback effectively; and editing and revising as a recursive process.
