Course Description
Welcome to RWS 305W. I’m excited to get to work with you this semester! The purpose of this intermediate writing course is to facilitate students’ continued success with the kinds of critical reading, writing, and thinking tasks that are required of them while they are here at the university, as well as after graduation. Although grasping academic reading and writing strategies are important, the course’s focus on reading and writing both in and beyond the university is particularly relevant to RWS 305W students since, as juniors and seniors, many will soon write for a variety of audiences and purposes. Thus, the course highlights such academic skills as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. In addition, to help students negotiate new writing situations, it asks students to consider how different audiences and contexts shape the rhetorical situation. This course satisfies the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) for the University.
Class Design:
We’ll primarily work asynchronously in the class, but you’ll have assignments due each week that you’ll need to complete to keep up with the class. The reason for this is that we’ll be working together online to craft and revise our various writing assignments, and if someone was too far ahead, or too far behind, they wouldn’t get the benefit of peer reviewing and discussing work together as a class. My office hours will be held on Wednesday 10 am-12 pm, but you can also request another time to meet with me.
