ENL 610 - Rhetorical Strategies: Achieving Effective StyleCredits 3
Requirements: Prerequisite: Graduate Standing or permission of instructorLecture / 3 hours per week
The theory and practice of style as a writer’s “way of seeing.” By analyzing and emulating outstanding contemporary prose, we develop a style vocabulary, and we explore possible “voices” for expressive, explanatory, or persuasive writing. Reading, writing, and editing assignments focus on the enduring qualities of forceful, readable, and emphatic style: clarity, conciseness, fluency, exactness, and engaging tone, among a wide array of syntactic and semantic elements that help make writing make a difference.
