461 Interpreting Past And Present Rhetorical Practices (4) The purpose of this course is to examine what rhetoric is and how it has been (and is currently) used to influence what we believe, practice and value as individuals and as a society. Beginning with the classical period, then moving chronologically to present day rhetorical theories, students will analyze the ways in which rhetoric has both influenced and been influenced by its historical context. Course grades will be determined by four examinations, an 8-10 page course paper, and an oral presentation of the work of one rhetorician.
