Welcome to English 300/401 (FSTD 443)
Welcome to the course site for ENGL 401: New Media Science Writing* (Fall 2012 at Saint Louis University). I am your professor, Nathaniel Rivers. Feel free to explore the site for more information about the course. The Introduction describes the goals and guiding principles of the course. Additional pages:
This course has one required text: A Field Guide for Science Writers, 2nd Edition.
ENGL 401 is grounded in the critical methodology of rhetoric, which students will hopefully come to value as a productive method for negotiating, constructing, maintaining, and reshaping their personal, professional, and technological lives.
*This course is also cross-listed as FSTD 443 01 (Film Studies).
- the Sequence page articulates how the course is put together and how it will proceed
- the Workshops page describes the four kinds of workshops we will have throughout the semester: field work, technology, segment, and assessment
- the Assessment page discusses the audience-based approach we will use to assess student productions
