WR 152
As a course that earns a third Hub unit in Digital/Multimedia Expression, beyond Hub units for (1) Writing, Research, & Inquiry and (2) Research & Information Literacy, WR 152 will also give you an opportunity to analyze different media and modes, such as podcasts, websites, and artwork, and to compose them yourself as you translate your academic writing into forms for different audiences. Even as it will draw on the principles of traditional rhetoric, this is a course about the ways twenty-first century writers can communicate both ethically and effectively. No special technological knowledge is required.
