  • WRTG 3860: Writing with Numbers

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    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.

  • WRTG 3890: Rhet & Critical Methods

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course takes seriously the idea students are researchers--reading, inquiring into, crafting questions for, and developing tools and strategies to answer questions about the everyday. In it, students will learn about a wide variety of research methods such as close reading, listening, discourse analysis, archival research, translanguaging, and ethnography. These are tools that researchers draw upon to collect, analyze, and make meaning of cultural data. They are also methodologies that are the epistemic and theoretical interests driving the undertaking of research. Ultimately, students in this class will design and pilot a semester-long research study into a cultural phenomenon, both developing researchable questions and selecting appropriate methods to collect data about, interact with, parse, and analyze the rhetorics of everyday life, communities, and/or culture.
