ENG 376 - Academic Narratives

An advanced academic writing course focusing on complex, multilayered, rhetorically informed narrative compositions. Using the method of narrative inquiry, students develop academic narratives that explore a chosen topic, revising over time to incorporate varied forms of evidence and genres. The course emphasis is on rhetorical control of a range of academic narrative forms and discursive styles, with intensive work on stylistics and the discourse conventions of the student’s major, minor, and/or intended professional fields. (Offered spring semester, alternate years.) 3 credits
