| <p>Writing and
HTML/CSS coding for online environments, hypertext architectures, and
electronic literacy theory to develop a more critical and applied understanding
of hypertext.</p>
<p>This course
is a restricted elective in the Technical Communication major and Digital
Humanities minor and was designed with humanities students in mind, so if you
haven’t had any prior experience with hypertext technology, this is fine. All
majors are welcome.</p>
<p>In this
course, we will work on our writing skills, our Web site architecture skills,
and our technical coding skills based on CSS and HTML to produce 1) a personal
Web site, and 2) an informational Web site that you build from a ten-page term
paper you write for this</p>
<p>course on
anything to do with digital humanities or technical communication. By the end
of the semester, you will be a competent Web site technician and writer and
have a strong theoretical and applied sense of how traditional texts or bodies
of writing can be</p>
<p>converted
into hypertext documents that you build from scratch.</p><br> |

Literature of Science and Tech |

| <p>In the Literature of Science and Technology, we will examine
the topics of science, technical communication, culture, philosophy, and the
philosophy of language and texts. You will be required to write one ten-page
paper on one of these three texts assigned for the course: White Noise by Don
DeLillo, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig, and The
Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. This means that while you will be
responsible for reading all three of our texts and doing the on-line work that
is required for each book, you will only be responsible for writing a paper on
one book.</p> |

Rhetoric of Science |
Web-Based (W) |
|
Unavailable |
| <p><span>LIT 6435 will
be a general approach to the rhetoric of science–kairos, ethos,
pathos, logos, and stasis theory —with specific attention to the discourse and
paradigm shifts in science as described by Thomas Kuhn. The general text
for the book will be Sharon Crowley and Debra Hawhee's <i>Ancient
Rhetorics for Contemporary Students</i>. Additionally, we will be reading
four chapters from Elizabeth Kolbert's <i>The Sixth Extinction</i> with
some attendant articles from traditional scientific journals such as <i>Nature</i> on
genomic studies and the Anthropocene epoch that Kolbert bases her "popular
science" or "journalistic science" work on. We will also look at
position papers from the Union of Concerned Scientists on global warming and
several chapters from David George Haskell's <i>The Forest Unseen</i>.
Haskell is a biologist by training but he employs a lot of figurative
language in his writing so we will examine his literary style.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This
is both a core course and a restricted elective in the Technical Communication
track, but graduate students majoring in Literary, Cultural and Textual
Studies; Creative Writing; Writing and Rhetoric; and the Texts and Technology
Ph.D. program are also welcome.</p>

<p>This course is a
restricted elective in the Technical Communication masters and was designed
with humanities students in mind, so if you haven’t had any prior experience
with hypertext technology, this is fine. All majors are welcome. In this
course, we will work on our writing skills, our Web site architecture skills,
and our technical coding skills based on CSS and HTML to produce 1) a personal
Web site, and 2) an informational Web site that you build from a ten-page term
paper you write for this course on anything to do with digital humanities or
technical communication. By the end of the semester, you will be a competent
Web site technician and writer and have a strong theoretical and applied sense
of how traditional texts or bodies of writing can be converted into hypertext
documents that you build from scratch. </p>
<p>There will also be some
shorter assignments in the course, and we will be spending a significant amount
of time studying theories about information so we can develop a more critical
sensibility regarding hypertext. </p>
<p>The topic for your paper
will be on one of the many issues associated with hypertext such as First
Amendment rights, politics and geopolitics, copyright law, gender, race, and
the use of the World Wide Web in business, education, digital humanities, and technical
communication. After we have finished our written projects, you will turn
it into a web site that utilizes the rhetorical advantages of hypertext to
their fullest advantage. </p>
