AWR 101 Reading Locally and Globally

AWR 101 is a critical reading, writing, and information literacy course that introduces students to the ways that the local is linked to a broader network of global concerns and contexts. Students read a number of texts chosen by their instructor, and they analyze, discuss, and respond in writing to those texts as a means of understanding elements of form and content. Equally important, they study the relation between texts and contexts that reveals students’ place in an increasingly globalized environment. Lastly, students learn how to properly find, evaluate, and ethically cite research sources through an academic library.
