CAS 308 - Rhetorical History and Criticism

3 hours
This course is an in-depth introduction to the long tradition of rhetoric, the various arts of rhetorical criticism, and the theories that underpin this approach to analyzing communication—from the influence of classical thought and the Christian Church to the Enlightenment and postmodern thought. Students will be introduced to a broad range of ideas, topics, artifacts, issues, problems, perspectives, positions, and readings so that they can then apply that knowledge to more confidently craft arguments regarding real-world persuasive communication. This class is writing, research, and critical-thinking intensive. RC
