    Description
    This course was formerly known as ENGWR 482 Honors Advanced Composition and Critical Thinking. In this course, students receive instruction in critical thinking for purposes of constructing, evaluating, and composing arguments in a variety of rhetorical forms, using primarily non-fiction texts, refining writing skills and research strategies developed in ENGL C1000 Academic Reading and Writing (C-ID ENGL 100) or similar first-year college writing course. This is an honors course. Students will examine methods by which people are persuaded to think, believe, and/ or act by exploring the relationship between language and logic. Students will identify fallacies of argument and craft traditional and/or multimodal arguments in context of current social, economic, political, and environmental discourse. The minimum word requirement of 6,500 words will be divided among at least four formal essays, ranging from 1,000-3,000 words each, two of which will include primary and secondary research and MLA format. This course is taught as a seminar; several group and individual class presentations will be required. Credit may be earned for ENGWR 1001H or ENGWR 1001 but not for both. This course was formerly known as ENGWR 482 Honors Advanced Composition and Critical Thinking.
