Upper-Division Writing Goals
I thought it might be helpful to educators to see how I’ve integrated digital literacies into the main learning goals for my upper-division writing course, which is offered at CU Boulder under WRTG 3020: Topics in Writing & Rhetoric.
To arrive at these goals, I’ve synthesized material from departmental and national statements about the objectives of upper division writing. See the sources at the bottom of this page.
To view each set of learning goals for my WRTG 3020 course, follow these links:
- LEARNING GOAL – Rhetorical Awareness
- LEARNING GOAL – Composing Processes
- LEARNING GOAL – Digital Literacies
For more info on my topic, see this page: About WRTG 3020: Rhetoric of Gender and Sexuality through New Media.
Storytelling Goals
I also teach an upper-division digital storytelling course under WRTG 3090: Storytelling through New Media. For more info, see this About page.
