Rhetoric 352 is the first 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. Rhetoric 352 provides students with advanced skills in argumentation through the framing of a research project. This semester's work will frame subsequent research projects for Rhetoric 353, 354, and 355, and will initiate contacts with community members. Working on the class CBL project which is documented through film 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. PRQ: Grade of "C" or above in RHET 102 or equivalent and 45 hours of college course work. Scheduled: Fall and spring when indicated by sequence. Meets: Rh C.

Rhetoric 353 is the second course in the Quantum Writing sequence. The sequence begins in RHET 352 by framing a research project that culminates in RHET 355 with the presentation/marketing of a documentary. Rhetoric 353 provides students with advanced skills in argumentation by supplementing the core syllabus of RHET 351 with the CBL project. This project serves as a class example through which the rhetorical practices of argument, source evaluation, and writing skills can be demonstrated as we interview and film community members expert on the subject matter of the course. Students can then apply these skills to their own written research assignments. In addition to reinforcing and building on the knowledge of argument theory that they acquired in Rhetoric 102, this course provides students with opportunities to refine their skills in critical thinking and practice developing arguments that respond to the complex situations that they will face after graduation by exposing them in this course to the complex situations in the public sphere of the city Rockford. Rhetoric 353 asks students to take those issues framed by students in Rhetoric 352 and to contact and interview members of the community on film as part of the course's research requirement. 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 and 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 demands 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 when indicated by sequence. Meets: Rh C.

RHET354 is the third 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. RHET354 provides students with advanced skills in argumentation through the hands-on work of editing and the shaping of a 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. RHET354 students will edit the raw footage produced in RHET353, shaping those issues, learning how to further narrow the subject matter, and creating a narrative voice. 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.

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.
