Rhetoric and Composition

Your 9 AM Rhetorical Theory class kicks off the week. You’re wrestling with ancient Greek concepts from Aristotle’s "Rhetoric," trying to grasp ethos, pathos, and logos in modern contexts. Later, you grab lunch, then head to the library for an hour of research for your "Composition Pedagogy" essay, learning how different approaches to teaching writing impact student learning. You briefly chat with your TA about a specific argument you want to make, getting some helpful early feedback. The evening involves prepping readings for tomorrow.
