Writing 3030 is an upper-division writing course designed for Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) students who are interested in majoring in Writing & Rhetoric Studies (WRS) at the U. This course recognizes that moving from one writing context to another--including transferring between institutions--is an opportunity to become a more flexible, reflective, and self-aware writer. Through scholarly readings, class discussions, and primary research projects, students will critically examine what it means to transfer writing knowledge across locations in their home communities, SLCC, and the U. Over the course of the semester, students will also connect with faculty, staff, and peers in the Department of Writing & Rhetoric Studies and learn about other resources on campus that will support their transition to the U.
