This examination is founded on an intensive study of post-secondary reading as a recursive and intellectual development of comprehension, analysis, problem-solving, reflective judgment, and interpretation skills through a range of challenging texts in multiple literary genres, as well as primary-source material from various cultural perspectives across the disciplines. Rhetorical comprehension promotes the development of a literary consciousness leading to personal and academic growth that will engage students as full participants in college, civic life, and global society.
