Title: Credit Unit 1 Introduction
Course: SkillsCom WR 122 15.0 > Section: Credit Unit 1 Module 1 - Introduction

In Credit Unit One, we’ll begin by defining what we mean by argument in an academic context. Then, we’ll move into the ways we can talk about arguments we read and ways to engage with writers and their texts, to explore how they’ve built their arguments and why we should (or should not) believe them. In order to understand how to construct our own arguments, we’ll critically assess the arguments of others, learn new vocabulary to discuss the ways and means of persuasion in argumentative writing, and discuss and apply methods of citation.

Course Outcomes:

- Analyze the rhetorical needs of a variety of academic and practical writing assignments, particularly argument and persuasion.
- Apply appropriate levels of critical thinking strategies when reading argument and persuasion.
