With the approaching Fall 2024 semester, I’m posting some of the course resources I’ve assembled for my upcoming graduate seminar! I typically divide my course materials into several resource documents that allow students to access the course schedule/readings, assignment descriptions, day-to-day agendas, and handouts for my class.
This document contains course policies and the course schedule. Each topic heading of the syllabus (Race, Affect, Secrecy, Radicalization, Context, Canon, Form, Algorithm, Space, Time, Matter) includes an iceberg-like extended resource bibliography for papers, projects, and exams.
This document contains writing advice as well as detailed instructions for presentations, responses, short papers, exams, and paper-length projects. Not all of the assignments described in this document will be assigned in a given semester.
Contains the plan for discussion on a given day of our graduate seminar. Actively updated week to week.
Handout and Resource Repository
An index for the course. It contains items that I intend to distribute to the class (see below) and hyperlinks to the documents provided above. So far, my handouts for the semester include:
- Advising and Professionalization Resources
- Rhetorical Theory Resources
- Rhetoric’s Definitions: A Partial List
- Introductory Notes on Rhetoric
- Keywords to Define and Constellate
- (Some) of Rhetoric’s Turns
- Presidential Cheat-Sheet by Dr. Mary Stuckey
Primers (introductory materials)
I use my UnTextbook site to post the course notes generated in previous semesters, which function as introductory resources for each unit in subsequent semesters.
