Rhetoric 1302 Central

About me

Rhetoric 1302 focuses on critical thinking by using an integrated approach to writing that teaches various rhetorical strategies for reading and constructing arguments, both written and visual. Students learn to read texts critically according to key components in argumentative discourse (i.e., claims, grounds, explicit and implicit assumptions, fallacies, etc.) and to recognize the different purposes of argument (i.e., to inquire, to convince, to persuade, to negotiate). Students write and revise several papers based on issues and controversies raised in the various texts read during the semester. Assignments provide extensive practice in reading critically and writing according to the rhetorical conventions of an argumentative essay. Course utilizes computer technology extensively.

Comment word limit

Many of you may have already figured this one out, but I was having problems the blog not wanted to post messages and "lagging" behind accordingly. It turns out that the issue is one of size quota -- unlike LiveJournal, which will tell you when you've exceeded the limit, this server simply freezes and then give an error message. So, just break up your post into several comments to solve this problem.

Let's Update the Rhetoric Home Page

The link to the LRO needs to be removed on the rhetoric home page and replaced with a link to Motime. John, can you contact someone about this?

Yay Motime!!

Yay motime!

This is SOO much faster and easier to use than the LRO... once you get the user accounts setup and subscribe, that is. Thanks for the great resource, John :)
