WR 120 will help you cultivate skills and habits of mind essential to your academic success and to your future\u00a0personal, professional, and civic life. Writing is a way not only to express what you have to say but also to discover and evaluate it. You will write a great deal at BU and beyond, and each occasion will present you with a range of questions:\u00a0\u00a0Who\u00a0is my audience, and what kind of writing does the occasion call for? How should I structure my writing to engage, inform, persuade, and perhaps even entertain my audience?\u00a0 How can I judge sources wisely and use them effectively and responsibly?\u00a0How can I clearly express my ideas? In this class we will review general principles about how to address such questions, and we will put those principles into practice as we read, talk, and write about our topic.<\/p>\n
