ENG 2800 - Writing & Rhetoric II

In this advanced writing course, students apply threshold concepts of writing and rhetoric to explore how academic writing functions in the creation of knowledge and contributes to ongoing scholarly and public conversations. Students are invited to engage in academic writing and research as emerging scholars in their disciplines, exploring how concepts like “genre” and “discourse community” manifest in the writing they encounter in their various contexts. The course offers practice in effective library research, techniques of documentation (e.g. MLA, APA), ethical and rhetorical use of Gen AI, and the sharing of research findings through multiple means (e.g. research paper, video, speech, social media).
