HUMN 6370 - The Literate Mind At Work

Credits: 3

Students enhance their reading, research, analysis, and written argument skills. Activities include the analysis of literature as a record of human experiences, the refinement of writing skills through personal responses, argumentation, and presentation of research. In group and individual projects, students explore the literature of the Southwest and classic short stories as literary responses to clashes of cultures, social and human justice, and challenges to morality and values. This writing-intensive course clarifies basic research techniques, styles of documentation, and academic integrity. May be used to fulfill the writing intensive requirement or may be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: American studies; human rights and social justice; gender studies; humanities.
