Writing & Rhetoric 1: Trust, Rhetoric, and Writing

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. This class takes as its theme trust as an ancient and persistent rhetorical problem, which impacts how we experience, interpret, and compose information. In our own age of instantaneous global communication and an internet that never forgets, these concerns proliferate. Trust becomes an essential consideration for writers and researchers working to build knowledge at the university and beyond, not to mention a valuable commodity.
