Welcome to Writing & Rhetoric II – Digital Rhetorics & Literacies. The design of this course emerges from the assumption that learning writing and rhetoric in the 21st century should include digital literacies that innovations in technology over the last 30 years have brought about. The goals for this course are centered on improving our writing, reading, and critical thinking abilities, but we will also consider what it means to be "literate" during this time in history when texts, and they ways we write and read them, are undergoing massive changes.
