Welcome to English 15

 

 

 

Welcome to English 15, one of three core required courses in rhetoric at Penn State University. These courses are required for all Penn State graduates - not because we wish to torment you with classes in communication production and analysis, but because rhetoric offers you techniques and insights necessary to all of the disciplines. Rhetoric is usually understood as a way of transforming the feelings, ideas and opinions of others, but you can also use rhetoric as an investigative tool as well. For example, by studying the language and images used your field of study, you will learn a great deal about what that field of study takes for granted, which will help you learn to learn. In this course you will write for persuasion - you will attempt to move someone to do something, such as change their mind. And you will write for inquiry - by putting ideas into different contexts and forms, you will explore problems and find unexpected solutions. The first axiom of this course is: Think practically about what you are trying to do with words, images, sounds, smells, feelings, even chemicals. Composition is the practice of finding the right mixture for any given goal. Goal number one, of course, is survival.
