Abstract
This course offers an education in reading critically and communicating your ideas in speech and writing. The primary goals of the course include strengthening your skills as a reader, improving your ability to write clearly and persuasively, and teaching you to approach writing as a process in which you rethink your arguments and revise your work. Always in this class we will work from the assumption that clear thinking will reveal itself in clear writing--if you can’t write about a topic clearly, your thinking about it may be more muddled than your realize. On the other hand, you may also learn in this class that thinking through a topic by writing about it can actually lead to ideas you didn’t even know you had.
