COCC300, Writing Arguments, focuses on having students
critically read and write a variety of arguments, both for
academic and nonacademic audiences. In the materials collected
here, we lay out key features of the course that make it a part
of the All-University Core Curriculum (AUCC). In addition, you
will find a collection of various materials developed by
teachers for their individual sections of COCC300. The course
continues to evolve in response to students' needs, so these
materials represent approaches taken over the last several
years. If you need to see how a specific teacher pulls together
all the pieces that appear in different parts of our resource
list below, please contact that teacher for a recent syllabus.
And please, contribute to this resource. We want it to reflect
the full range of creative approaches possible when teaching
critical thinking and argument.
