WR 122Z builds on concepts and processes emphasized in WR 121Z, engaging with inquiry, research, and argumentation in support of students’ development as writers. The course focuses on composing and revising in research-based genres through the intentional use of rhetorical strategies. Students will find, evaluate, and interpret complex material, including lived experience; use this to frame and pursue their own research questions; and integrate material purposefully into their own compositions. Repeatable for up to 8 credits. Prerequisite(s): WR 121Z with a C- or better or equivalent.
In this section of WR122z, we’ll explore the connections among our writing, ourselves, and our audiences—and why these connections matter. We’ll engage critically with a range of materials, from personal essays to podcasts to academic studies.
