In some courses, students may choose whether or not they wish to designate a particular course as Writing Intensive. The list of DWI courses will be determined according to criteria specified by the Academic Affairs Committee. Watch for the list in the Erindale Registration and Timetable Information booklet available in April. This course offers theory and practice in expressive prose, the most basic prose mode. Expressive writing emphasizes the writer's self-expression.
Writers learn to select styles and forms appropriate to their personal meaning and purpose.
The course covers writing and editing skills and communication techniques. There will be frequent writing exercises. A screening test will be given at the beginning of the course. WRI301H The Genres of Scientific and Technical Writing Students will examine current theories of rhetoric for science and technology and explore how our culture uses language and written discourse to meet its goals of science and production. Readings will include writings by Bacon, Kuhn, Toulmin and Popper.
