Writing 121z: Composition 1
WR 121Z engages students in the study and practice of critical thinking, reading, and writing. The course focuses on analyzing and composing across varied rhetorical situations and in multiple genres. Students will apply key rhetorical concepts flexibly and collaboratively throughout their writing and inquiry processes.
Our University Seminar theme focuses on climate activism and social justice. In class, we’ll explore solutions to the climate crisis and social justice issues through the works of influential activists from all fields and walks of life. We’ll examine how we effectively convey complex ideas and emotions by using the power of language and rhetoric–from nature writing to science writing—and gain insights into how to inspire and mobilize diverse audiences to take action to solve shared challenges.
