Unit II: Proof – Argument – Literacy 

Project 2: Rhetorical Analysis Webtext

    reminder: Project 1 Video (19-Sep) and Sum­mary (20-Sep) due

 
Week 5

M 9/21   Dis­cuss: Project 1 out­comes, Unit 2 goals, Web­text project

  • focus: insights from video about belief-story mode (for reflec­tion blog entry);
    about public/social genre/mode — audi­ence — cir­cu­la­tion (pub­lish to site/social media?)
  • new unit topic In-class writ­ing — sketch of your major/field (initial/current view of dis­ci­pline, infor­ma­tion, spe­cial­ized discourse)

 
Blog Entry 2: Project 1 Reflection

  • 200 words, infor­mal; due T 9/22
    — no class­mate com­ment required this time
  • sug­gested: share your video online (your choice) for more spe­cific dis­cus­sions of public/social con­ven­tions, audi­ence, circulation

 
 
W 9/23   hybrid work :

  • watch Unit Overview Video
  • share ini­tial “Field Sketch” (brief list + media)
    and online source in/for your dis­ci­pline (find + follow)
    — class­mate com­ment optional
     
  • prepa­ra­tion for Fri­day (use time Wed): iden­tify representative/recent read­ing & assign­ment from your major (another course) — to bring/reference in dis­cus­sion next class

 
 
F 9/25   Dis­cuss: Ouel­lette, “Veni, Vidi, Wiki: Exper­tise as Knowl­edge and a Tech­no­cratic Gen­er­a­tion” Recon­struc­tion 10.2 (2010)

  • Focus: “exper­tise,” rhetor­i­cal con­ven­tions, & “infor­ma­tion” of (your) field
    — use/reference major-course reading/book and assign­ment as examples
     
  • look­ing ahead: begin compiling/browsing (research) for Anno­tated Bib­li­og­ra­phy (due 10/03) — first exercise/component of Project 2

    Voices/Publications: Amer­i­can chem­i­cal soci­ety is big in the states, every­thing pub­lished can be found through them.

    Online Forums: Scifinder​.com, ACS​.org. And every research lab group has their own group page with their pub­li­ca­tions and interest. 

    Images: Peri­odic table. Explo­sions. Chem­i­cal devel­op­ments, like med­i­cine etc.

    1. Many chemist look at pub­li­ca­tions from the Amer­i­can chem­i­cal soci­ety, and they hold con­fer­ences in var­i­ous places to move the con­cepts that research has proven. And exam­ple of this is some­thing that can be used is the fol­low­ing link. http://​pubs​.acs​.org/​#​/​d​o​i​/​f​u​l​l​/​1​0​.​1​0​2​1​/​a​c​s​.​i​n​o​r​g​c​h​e​m​.​5​b​0​0​578

      Assign­ments in my field often deal with hypo­thet­i­cal sit­u­a­tions. For exam­ple in lab we are told the objec­tive and we either design an exper­i­ment our­selves, or we fol­low a pro­ce­dure that is given to us. Either way, the pro­ce­dure comes from ACS, and we try to obtain the same results.

    1. 1) Source of info: Doing experiments.
      2) Assigned read­ing: Chap­ter 3 of “Phys­i­cal Chem­istry” book. Then Prob­lems 3.5,3.7,3.10,3.11, 3.12, 3.14, 3.15, 3.20, 3.23, 3.25, and an addi­tional prob­lem online.

  24. Cur­rent Majors: Speech, Lan­guage, and Hear­ing Sci­ences (SLHS) and Inte­gra­tive Phys­i­ol­ogy (IPHY)
    Desired Field: Audi­ol­ogy (Military)
    Insti­tu­tions: Amer­i­can Speech, Lan­guage, and Hear­ing Asso­ci­a­tion (ASHA), CU Boul­der (fol­lowed by grad­u­ate school), col­lege of arts and sci­ences, SLHS and IPHY departments
    Images: the ear and the brain
    Voices: Yvgot­ski, Chom­sky, New­ton, ASHA NSSLHA
    Cur­rent View: This job basi­cally entails test­ing for and diag­nos­ing hear­ing and bal­ance prob­lems and cor­rect­ing said prob­lems by fit­ting peo­ple for hear­ing aids, rec­om­mend­ing them as can­di­dates for cochlear implants, or pro­vid­ing them with dis­abil­ity ser­vices. I feel like the demand for audi­ol­ogy is not excru­ci­at­ingly high, but the mil­i­tary is always look­ing for audi­ol­o­gists because as you can imag­ine, loud guns, fly­ing high, div­ing deep, and loud machines leave peo­ple with dam­aged ears.
