"Rhetoric's classic definition as the art of persuasion suggests a power. So much of what we receive from others -- from family and friends to 30-second blurbs on TV -- is intended to persuade. Recognizing how this is done gives greater power to choose." ~ Victor Villanueva, Jr.
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically... Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." Martin Luther King Jr.
Welcome to College Writing 1. This semester will be filled with readings and projects centered on the theme of Education – something that each of you are currently living, a theme relevant to your life now. I am really looking forward to working with all of you this semester, and I hope that you are just as eager to work (or at least open to thinking in new and different ways). This course is set up to teach you how to critically read, analyze, and compose alphabetic and multimodal texts. We will be working with online and print texts, and composing online and in print.
I have set the course up in a way that you can succeed; I want you to succeed and I will do what I can to help you succeed – but, ultimately, your success depends on the work that you put into the course.
Throughout the semester we will use this website. You will find your syllabus, an updated schedule, project sheets, helpful links, my contact information and our course blog.
