ENG 2512 - The Rhetoric of Social Media

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): ENG 1020 or ENG 1021

Description: Students study how traditional notions of literacy and creativity are being both challenged and encouraged by pervasive computing, particularly social media. Through readings, research and discussion, students assess and critique how social media are effective (or not), how they function rhetorically, and how they influence perceptions of written communications. Students learn to analyze the rhetorical features of texts both in print and digital form.
