Welcome to the blogosphere, students of LSTD 1243! Part of our work in this course is to examine the ways we utilize rhetorical practice in our writing. You know a lot about rhetorical practices, but you may not know that you know. Everyday, you are bombarded with hundreds (if not thousands) of messages that utilize rhetorical practices we will read about and discuss in this course. Part of my objective in this course is for you to recognize these practices, as they are ubiquitous in our culture. As you become familiar with rhetorical practices, you gain the ability to examine how you're being affected by them.
In addition, as you learn about the different rhetorical strategies we cover in Interdisciplinary Composition, you will also learn how to write in a way that appeals to the audiences you communicate with daily. You will become a better writer and communicator in the process.
I hope you enjoy this course, and this foray into the blogosphere!
