W270: Argumentative Writing is an advanced course in rhetoric and argumentation that also satisfies the intensive requirement at Indiana University. A unique feature of this course is that it asks students to write essays that analyze the rhetorical choices of arguments in a variety of media and to write their own argumentative essays. I designed this syllabus and taught two sections of this course in 2010-2011.
