WRT-3930: Argument and Persuasion

This course expands the notion of argument and suggests a wide variety of discourses-from text to television, verse to video-that can be understood as practices of argument. The course covers the analysis of various forms of argument and the evaluation of arguments presented in the world. The course encourages the student to create effective reader-centered arguments using multiple writing strategies through several lenses, including opinion editorial, social media and academic argument. The student evaluates the application of supportive evidence in professional writers’ work as well as for use in their own work and then generates writing through several audience lenses using qualified evidence as the primary way to support the argument.
