Additional Details:

This course offers students in a variety of disciplines—humanities, business, art, sciences, engineering, etc.—an opportunity to learn and practice writing skills. Students are encouraged to work on projects connected to their interests as we examine and practice writing as a form ofmaking, as well as writing in support ofother kinds of making. The goal of this course will be to make rhetorical in(ter)ventions that matter, working in traditional and new media writing, as well as 2D and 3D forms. We will explore and practice strategies for getting ideas, designing, improvising, prototyping, testing, failing (yes, failing!), refining, and implementing. Please note that prerequisites have been waived and prior experience with web writing is not necessary. Contact the instructor or English advising for an add code. This course satisfies the UW “Composition” credit.
