ENC 3021-Fall 2025-Tuladhar

ENC 3021 stands as one of the three courses for the Editing, Writing, and Media (EWM) major. As a foundation for the major, this course is designed to expose and bridge students to various rhetorical principles, theories, and frameworks and be acquainted with relevant issues and contexts across the field of rhetoric. These theoretical ideologies and frameworks aim students to strengthen epistemic ground in their discipline. We are confident that this course will have significant support to evolving writers, scholars, and editors with its heuristic applications.

To start with, we will scale up the evolution of rhetoric by familiarizing to its root from the Western rhetorical traditions. We will begin with Greek and Roman rhetorics but will not limit to historical canonical rhetoricians. To some extent in a sequential order we proceed to prominent scholars of present rhetorical theories and frameworks whose contributions reinforced the production and analysis of texts, situations, and communication.
