Undergraduate

Undergraduate students enrolled at the University of Rochester who are not in EAPP (English for Academic Purposes Program) but wish to take EAPP classes should contact the EAPP director, Paige Sloan (gsloan@ur.rochester.edu ).

This course builds upon the lessons from WRTG 101: EAPP Communication across Contexts I, and it is designed to help undergraduate non-native speakers of English improve their English oral communication and listening skills in preparation for academic and social interactions. Students will practice taking notes, summarizing, repeating, and critiquing key information from recorded lectures and presentations with an emphasis on the discourse most prevalent in undergraduate university courses. Students will also practice communicating in different academic, social, and cultural contexts as they engage in classroom conversation, debates, interviews, speaking to formal audiences, and giving academic presentations in English. Class work will take place in and out of the classroom with the collaboration of native and non-native speakers of English in formal and informal settings.

Prerequisite: A grade of C or better is required in WRTG 101: EAPP Communication across Contexts I, or permission from the EAPP Program director for non-EAPP Program students. WRTG 102 is an integrated course that supports WRTG 104: EAPP Research, Reading, and Writing coursework.

WRTG 104 extends the critical reading and writing skills learned in WRTG 103: EAPP Critical Reading, Reasoning, and Writing to the act of research. Research may include traditional library sources and academic journals, but it may also include primary research such as fieldwork, surveys, and interviews. A variety of texts will be analyzed and discussed in preparation for constructing extended argumentative essays and a final argumentative research paper. Reading and responding critically to texts will be practiced. Students will learn to incorporate source material into research writing and integrate one's ideas with those from other texts. Collaboration is an important part of learning; therefore, students will work together as they learn to critique their work and the work of peers. Attention will be given to writing beyond the classroom, such as communicating with faculty and staff across the college.

WRTG 105 introduces students to academic writing at the college level and an awareness of variations across the disciplines. The course offers instruction in small sections that focus on the act of writing. It provides instruction and practice in clear and effective writing and in constructing cogent and compelling arguments, as students draft and revise numerous compositions of different forms and lengths. These assignments introduce some of the genres students are expected to produce later in their college careers as well as in their public and professional lives after graduation. The subject of the course is writing, but since writing is about something, each section of WRTG 105 focuses on a unique theme. Within this theme, students analyze, discuss, and engage with a range of texts in order to construct their own arguments and a final argumentative research paper. Students consider the roles of audience and purpose in shaping the organization, style and argumentative strategies of their papers, and they learn to become self-aware readers of their writing through reflection, peer response, revision, and editing. All sections include writing instruction, workshops, and practice in core writing principles and strategies needed to meet the course learning objectives and to become successful writers in and beyond college.

 To fulfill the primary writing requirement, a student must earn a grade of C or higher.

It provides instruction and practice in clear and effective writing and in constructing cogent and compelling arguments, as students draft and revise numerous compositions of different forms and lengths. These assignments introduce some of the genres students are expected to produce later in their college careers as well as in their public and professional lives after graduation. The subject of the course is writing, but since writing is about something, each section of WRTG 105 focuses on a unique theme. Within this theme, students analyze, discuss, and engage with a range of texts in order to construct their own arguments and a final argumentative research paper. Students consider the roles of audience and purpose in shaping the organization, style and argumentative strategies of their papers, and they learn to become self-aware readers of their writing through reflection, peer response, revision, and editing. All sections include writing instruction, workshops, and practice in core writing principles and strategies needed to meet the course learning objectives and to become successful writers in and beyond college.

 To fulfill the primary writing requirement, a student must earn a grade of C or higher.

WRTG 108 is a weekly workshop that offers ongoing practice and instruction in writing and critiquing writing. Students meet weekly with the instructor to work on writing projects relevant to their writing goals. These forms might include summaries, critical responses, argumentative essays, lab reports, personal statements, and cover letters, among other texts. Students may also choose to revise essays completed in previous semesters. Students plan, draft and revise their projects, critique each other's work, assess their own writing, participate in group sessions on common writing issues, and individual sessions tailored to their writing goals. The semester's work will culminate in a final portfolio that features polished essays and a reflection on their work and their development as writers.

Prepares selected sophomores, juniors, and eligible first-year students for work as Speaking Fellows. This course focuses not only on the skill of public speaking, but also on peer tutoring and assisting students with their own forms of spoken communication. In this course, we will examine various components of presentations, including effective use of visual aids and professional delivery styles. We will also explore several types of spoken communication for different purposes and audiences, including argumentative and descriptive speeches, interviews, and group presentations. Through analyzing, studying the construction of, and creating and delivering their own presentations, students will improve their own speaking styles and develop the skills necessary to aid their peers in constructing and revising presentations. By the end of the semester, students should be ready to take on their own hours as peer tutors. This course satisfies a requirement for the Citation for Achievement in College Leadership.

This course is a comprehensive review of the grammar of Modern Standard English. The course will be of interest to those who wish to sharpen their language skills, or to know more about the workings of the English language whether for practical, cognitive or creative ends. Drawing on work in mostly pre-theoretical, descriptive linguistics this course reveals the mechanics of Standard English structure, with occasional detours into the finesse of usage across registers (dialect to slang). Students will learn to develop the ability to see patterns in grammar, as well as its structural possibilities and limits. Assignments will regularly involve reflection on form, usage and speaker judgments. Through a final project, students will investigate some aspect of an English variety available to them. Throughout, students will be working with their data samples of English to explore how speaker choices lead to particular grammatical structures or yield ungrammaticality. Background in linguistics or grammar not needed.

While the term copyediting may be associated with journalism or literary fiction, in fact it is a vital component of the publication of almost any textual materials from scholarly and popular publishing in arts and sciences to corporate and technical communications. So what do copy editors do? Is copyediting simply about enforcing rules of correctness? When is it okay to break those rules, or to allow others to do so, and what guides such decisions? How do copy editors understand and negotiate the relationships and interests of readers, writers, and the publications they work for? How has the information age changed the way copy editors think about and approach textual editing? In this class we will address both the principles and practices of copyediting. Students will learn the principles that guide copy editors, and then put these principles into use in a workshop setting, practicing copyediting in a variety of contexts, including digital communications.

The purpose of writing in a digital world is to engage with a broader community around a topic of interest and contribute to public knowledge. In this course, students are invited to dig deeply into a question of interest, write for a public audience, and use the Internet as an archive of information waiting to be discovered, analyzed, and written about. Students can draw on pre-existing research interests from their majors or develop a line of inquiry stemming from class discussions, writing, and research. In order to gain experience writing to a range of readers, students will engage in a writing process informed by peer review, self-assessment, and revision. Shorter writing assignments will help students develop and refine ideas as they transform texts for different audiences. The final research project will be multimodal, published for a public audience, and should demonstrate your ability to think critically about a topic and effectively communicate that knowledge to a range of readers.

Drawing on the concepts of discourse community and rhetorical genre analysis (e.g., Bazerman, Berkenhotter & Huckin, Swales), this course investigates ways of understanding the choices writers make when communicating about the natural, social, or applied sciences, with the goal of better understanding how to read and write as an insider in your chosen discipline. You will develop a technical vocabulary and set of skills that allow you to describe recurring patterns and writer choices within those patterns. Using these tools, and talking to experts in your chosen discipline(s), you will investigate disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries, how writers convey meaning in different situations, and why they make the writing choices they do. Through a final research project of your choice, you will practice using what you have learned to communicate the results of your own research. This course is especially suitable for dual-major students, or those heading to graduate or health professions schools.

We will investigate broad models of argument and evidence from the interdisciplinary field of argumentation theory. Students will apply these models to specific academic and social contexts of their choice. Some questions we might ask are: Can argument or evidence be understood absent context? What do arguments in STEM fields have in common with those in the humanities? For instance, is there common ground in how we argue about English literature and how biologists argue about the natural world? How do audience and purpose in disciplines such as psychology, physics and philosophy shape what counts as an argument in their respective fields? Does political argument resemble academic argument? What strategies will enable experts to communicate more effectively with public audiences in fields such as public health and the environmental humanities? Students will write frequent reflections, develop several short papers, and the semester will culminate in the construction of a final project of the student’s own design (for example, a research paper, a website, a podcast…) that can focus on any aspect of academic, professional, or political argumentation.

We say that the pen is mightier than the sword, implying that writing can change human history and culture. This course is designed to examine this idea and put it into practice. How can, and how should, words be used to shape the social and political world? Through a variety of media—books and articles, YouTube and TikTok, documentaries and Hollywood films—students will engage with activism about various issues such as institutional racism, mass incarceration, immigration, climate change, gender politics, and animal rights. The course will prompt reflection on both the ethics of these issues and the efficacy of the activism behind them. How can we become more effective and thoughtful writer-activists with the tools of scholarship at our disposal? As one component of the course, students can choose to provide anonymous feedback on the writing of incarcerated people, working to empower a disempowered population through words. This course meets the citation for community-engaged scholarship as students will produce various public-facing activist writing projects.

What does it mean to be a writer in a world where AI systems like ChatGPT or Claude can produce text that is at least sometimes indistinguishable from text written by a human? In this course, we will explore a variety of AI tools with the goal of understanding how these tools might fit into the writing process and where the possible pitfalls lie. We’ll learn how to interpret articles about AI in the media with a critical eye and discuss what would be necessary for media to do a better job of writing about AI. But we’ll also experiment with AI tools to explore what it means to write with AI. Throughout the semester, we’ll dive deeper into what it is that we humans do when we write, from brainstorming all the way through final drafts, and we’ll probe what happens when we add AI to the mix at each of those stages in a series of reflective assignments. These will build towards a final project in which students offer a research-based proposal for a specific way in which AI could be effectively and ethically used by writers.

Misinformation, including propaganda, rumor and satire, has a long history, from the salacious canards of revolutionary France to nineteenth-century newspaper hoaxes in the United States. However, it is only recently that this word, along with "fake news" and “post-truth,” has become part of everyday conversation. How has the construction of "facts" become contested in our information-saturated world? What sort of a role do writing, speaking and argument play in the creation and dissemination of these narratives? And how are our writing and reading practices influenced by misinformation?

In this course, we will explore the complex relationship that exists between consensus, knowledge and communication–on both sides of the political aisle. Through discussion, reading and writing, students will critically examine how the concept of misinformation shapes the ways we produce, disseminate, and consume various forms of media, literature, and discourse. Objects of study will include social media posts, news articles, documentaries and scholarly works, as we consider the ways that texts are composed, disseminated, and received. Throughout the course, students will engage in informal writing, self-reflection and peer feedback as they draft and revise short writing assignments and a research project of their own design. Together we will learn to navigate the topic of misinformation, enhancing our skills in critical reading, writing, and knowledge production.
