WR 220.01: Introduction to Rhetoric

Instructor: Dr. Lisa Zimmerelli
TTH 10:50-12:05

Rhetoric is the study of how writing works on people. In this course we read historical and contemporary writers to see how they use strategies first described by classical rhetoricians to move particular audiences in particular moments, and then we put those strategies to work in our own nonfiction prose. The questions stay practical: who is this for, what does the writer want them to do, and why does it persuade or fall flat. Special emphasis goes to the relationship between writer, audience, text, and social context.
The writers we study come from inside the classical tradition and from well outside it, including many who were denied a platform and had to argue their way onto one. You'll analyze speeches, essays, op-eds, and public arguments on current questions of diversity and justice, and you'll write your own: a rhetorical analysis, a piece of public argument, and a researched essay on a contemporary issue you care about. Along the way we work on the sentence-level choices that persuade, from arrangement to style to the single word that changes a reader's mind.
This course is for anyone who wants to argue well in academic, professional, and civic settings. It fulfills a Diversity-Justice requirement. All majors welcome.

WR 230: Introduction to Poetry and Fiction

Instructor: Professor Karen Fish
TTH 10:50-12:05pm

This is a foundational course for those with little or no experience with fiction and/or poetry. You might simply want to 鈥渢ry it out.鈥� I find it impossible to teach writing without teaching close reading. Students will learn to read like writers and gradually notice the many technical choices that authors regularly make. Reading closely can give us ideas and provide context. I am interested in inspiring you and fostering an atmosphere where it is enjoyable to experiment and practice, rewrite, and revise. Writing is finally about studying good writing and finding things worth writing about.

Instructor: Dr. Andrea Leary
MWF 1:00-1:50

鈥淏illions of people use digital tools and technologies every day to communicate. It is worth examining how these tools can be used effectively and ethically.鈥�
鈥揇an Lawrence, Digital Writing
 Why? Because nearly everyone is writing for the web, and you want to do it well鈥攜ou want to stand out. How will you do that? With your voice. We will focus on developing your own brand voice and writing with the voice of your service partner. A clear, unique voice will set your writing apart.

In this course we will focus on health-related topics, and you will produce a variety of texts in multiple genres that address topics such as illness, wellbeing, access, and equity. We will work on topics of your choice and with a community partner.

WR 324: Speech Writing and Delivery

Instructor: Dr. Lisa Zimmerelli
TTH 3:05-4:20pm

This course takes the Jesuit ideal of eloquentia perfecta, clear thought delivered eloquently, and makes it something you can do on your feet. We start with classical rhetoric and move quickly to practice. You'll write and deliver speeches to inform, to persuade, and to commemorate, on subjects drawn from political and social issues and from your own life, and you'll get specific, useful feedback on each one from me and from your classmates.
Half of speaking well is writing well, so we spend real time on the page: finding the one idea the speech is about, building an argument a listener can follow without re-reading, and writing sentences meant to be heard rather than seen. The other half is delivery. We work on voice, pacing, presence, nerves, and the audience in front of you. We also study speeches that worked, from a wide range of speakers, traditions, and occasions, to figure out why they worked and what each speaker had to overcome to be heard.
The course includes a workplace segment on interviewing and presenting on the job. If you have a class that requires presentations, a career that will ask you to speak, or a wedding toast in your future, this course will help. It builds a confidence in front of an audience that lasts.

WR 326: Technical Writing

Instructor: Dr. Tiffany Curtis
MWF 3:00-3:50

This course focuses on using industry-standard approaches to writing and research and on refining your communication skills for various audiences. To best prepare you for a workplace setting, you will produce conventional professional documents, as well as instructions, technical descriptions, and reports. Students will also practice project management and collaboration and engage in discussions of workplace ethics and basic research methods through usability testing. This course is designed to reflect the new needs of the market, encompassing those students in STEM fields, social sciences, and in the humanities. Our section will be a community-engaged course. We will have a community partner, and one of our assignments will be designed to work with our partner, allowing students to gain experience in tailoring their writing to meet the needs of a specific audience in a professional environment.

WR355 Advanced Fiction

Instructor: prof. Helen Hofling
MW4:30-5:45

This course is an advanced fiction workshop. We will read a series of contemporary short stories and explore how they create fictional worlds. Through observation, dialogue, experimentation, feedback, and revision, students will develop the craft of short story writing. This class is designed for students who have some experience with creative writing; it aims to foster a community of writers who are excited about what they are creating. 

WR 342.01 Advanced Poetry 

Instructor: Karen Fish  
TTH 1:40-2:55 

You don't have to want to be a poet to take this class鈥攋ust someone interested in experimenting and playing around with language. This class is for anyone interested in writing poems and deepening and expanding their knowledge of modern poetics.  
We will look at the work of modern poets and gain context. I find it impossible to teach writing without teaching close reading. While a student isn鈥檛 required to have had the 300-level Writing Poetry to take this class, it is advisable to have taken WR230 Introduction to Poetry and Fiction as a prerequisite. For me, the aim is to foster a creative an environment that is supportive and conducive for you to generate new work. I am interested in creating an atmosphere where it is enjoyable to experiment and practice, rewrite, and revise. Writing is finally about studying good writing and finding things worth writing about. 

WR 353: The Contemporary Essay

Instructor: Dr. Brian Murray
TTH 4:30-5:45

Michel de Montaigne (1533鈥�1592) is widely credited with inventing the essai, a form of literary exploration through which he examined his own habits, attitudes, and assumptions, guided by the question, 鈥淲hat do I truly know?鈥� Montaigne鈥檚 conception remains highly relevant today, although the essay has also evolved into a remarkably flexible form, accommodating many styles and an endless variety of subjects. In this class, we will read and discuss mostly contemporary essays while developing, revising, and refining our own original work, exploring a wide range of topics and literary techniques.

WR 400.01: Senior Seminar (Rhetorical Theory)

Instructor: Dr. Lisa Zimmerelli
TTH 1:40-2:55

Required capstone for Writing majors and minors

This is the culminating course for writing majors and minors who want to deepen their rhetorical knowledge and put it to work in nonfiction, persuasive writing. We read primary and secondary sources in rhetorical theory, historical and contemporary. The Western tradition is our starting point, not our boundary: we also read theories of persuasion from other cultures and from thinkers the tradition left out, and we ask what they see that it missed. Then we argue with all of it. What is persuasion for? Who gets to speak, and who gets believed? What does a writer owe an audience? You'll leave with a working theory of your own, one you can explain and defend.
The heart of the seminar is an original project you design: a sustained piece of persuasive nonfiction, researched and revised through several drafts, aimed at an actual audience and purpose. It can be an op-ed series, a public argument, an advocacy or policy piece, a speech, a long-form essay, or a proposal for an organization you care about. You'll workshop it, revise it substantially, and finish with a piece strong enough for a professional portfolio, a graduate application, or a job search. Shorter writing along the way includes reading responses, an oral report, and issue papers that grow out of our discussions.
This is a seminar, so it runs on your reading and your voices. Come ready to talk. Students who want to take Senior Seminar from a creative writing perspective should register for the other section, WR 400.02.

WR400.02 Senior Seminar: Creative Writing 

Instructor:  Prof. Jane Satterfield 
TH 3:05- 4:20 PM

Required capstone for Writing majors and minors

Essays, it鈥檚 been said, are a kind of public letter. Creative writers rely on them to expand their range and reach a broader audience. In this section of Senior Seminar, we鈥檒l explore how writers turn the essay鈥檚 rich traditions toward new purposes. Informal/personal essays will help you draw on interests and skills you鈥檝e cultivated as majors and minors. As we discuss well-crafted essays by established practitioners, we鈥檒l consider ways of wrestling with an idea, deploying first-hand observation, and using voice to create an engaging persona. Our community of writers will offer supportive feedback to charge your imagination and publishing future. Reading and discussion topics may include travel, food, media culture, music, and more.  

WR402 Writing Internship 

Instructor:  Dr. Andrea Leary

Restricted to junior and senior writing majors, interdisciplinary writing majors, or writing minors. Written or electronic permission of the internship coordinator or department chair.

You have taken the classes, completed the assignments, and polished your writing.  You鈥檝e worked hard in each writing class to hone the skills you need to make your mark in the workplace. Taking the internship class will give you that extra edge. Not only will you gain valuable work experience in this course, you will leave with a professional portfolio, a potential supervisor recommendation, and opportunities for reflection and discernment. 

WR402, the three-credit internship class, allows you polish your resume, locate a workplace that fits your future goals, and learn in that environment for 120 hours during the semester (essentially 8-10 hours per week). Because this is a class, you will be asked to do some reading and writing on your experiences, but we will not meet in a classroom in order to allow you ample time at your internship. Instead, much of our communication will occur online, as we discuss your goals, challenges, and successes. You will work with The Successful Internship:  Personal, Professional, and Civic Development in Experiential Learning as a text, which will give you advice along with the opportunity to apply that advice to your experiences in your workplace. In addition, you will have the chance to read your classmates鈥� reflections and offer advice there as well. 

Classroom learning builds your foundation. Combine classroom learning with an internship, and you鈥檒l have the experience you need to help you land that first job.
