Understanding Argument

Ever wondered why you always seem to lose arguments with that one particular friend? Or why people from different cultural backgrounds have to choose their words
carefully in order not to offend? How about the way Jon Stewart picks apart politicians' speeches for comedic effect? This course follows up on ENG 102 by
investigating argumentation across cultures and media. ENG 223.001 is ideal for students in English, Journalism, Speech Communication, Marketing, Education,
Psychology, and Philosophy--among other programs--who want to prepare themselves for upper-division coursework.

303.001
Introduction to Literary Theory and Criticism
4:00-5:15 MW
Murphy

This course is designed to introduce English majors to the “practice” of criticism: the analytic methods and critical techniques underwriting the discipline of literary study. 
The phrase “Theory Matters” highlights the fundamental concept that¾whether or not its influence is always obvious¾theory matters to us: in the books we read
(and how we read them), the films we watch (and how we talk about them afterwards), the cultural practices in which we engage, the products available to us, and
the political and ideological forces shaping our choices and desires.  We will be considering the ways in which theory matters shape how we comprehend, interpret,
and navigate cultural products.
