COMP 7003 - Classical Rhetoric

The focus of this course is on persuasive writing and models of argument. Extending the skills developed in COMP 1503, the course provides further instruction and practice in the application of rhetorical theory for the purpose of persuading a particular audience in writing, which is a skill that is essential across disciplines. Students will both analyze written arguments and write their own, applying a writing process and employing research to support a claim, thus also developing information literacy and the ability to appropriately document sources.
