WR 121HZ Composition 1-Honors

WR 121HZ engages students in the study and practice of critical thinking, reading, and writing. The course focuses on analyzing and composing across varied rhetorical situations and in multiple genres. Students will apply key rhetorical concepts flexibly and collaboratively throughout their writing and inquiry processes. This course will prepare students to engage in adaptable inquiry-based research processes that meet the needs of various rhetorical contexts. Students can expect to compose multiple revised texts, for a total of at least 10 double-spaced pages, throughout the term. This honors class delves deeper into course topics and requires a high level of student motivation; the pace may be faster than non-honors courses. See lanecc.edu/honors for information. Students cannot receive credit for both WR 121Z and WR 121HZ. This course is part of the Oregon Common Course Numbering System.
