WRTG 3860 - Writing with Numbers

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Writing and Rhetoric Studies

Description:

Numbers play an important role in how we analyze and interpret the questions we pose about the world. They are especially important in how they are used to provide evidence in telling a story. Often, we are taught how to calculate numbers and interpret them, but not necessarily how to write about them. This course picks up where other courses on numbers leave off. The course builds on previous courses about numbers and reasoning by merging them with writing. We will study how numbers can be best explained to tell an accurate and ethical story. We will learn how to write about numbers by studying them in the process of the stories we need to tell, whether it be writing in biology, chemistry, health sciences, the humanities, or medicine.
