Congratulations, you have made it to the course blog! So begins our collective introduction to academic composing processes, purposes, strategies, and styles. On this website, you will find the Course Syllabus (which outlines the course goals and expectations), the Course Schedule (which outlines when blogs posts, readings, and assignments are due), and detailed information about Assignments.
Over the course of the semester, you will reflect on who you are as a literate human being; sharpen your analytical abilities as a reader and writer in a world inundated with information, rhetoric, signs, and symbols; and develop your own rhetorical maneuvers as thinkers and composers in/of the university and the world.
