HCOM 125 - Writing and Reading for College Success


Using critically sustaining pedagogy and antiracist instructional and grading tools, this course leverages student’s lived experience, knowledge and assets to further develop their writing, reading and critical thinking skills. Through a deeper understanding of diverse rhetorics, students will learn to analyze the context and culture of writing, research topics, synthesize sources, and make fact-based arguments based in critical cultural wealth. This includes the analysis of systems of power, privilege and social constructs and the ways these systems may champion some forms of communication over others.
