ENGCMP 1130

This course requires students to compose original projects in a particular focal area of digital media while exploring the rhetorical, poetic, and political implications of that medium. Where students in ENGCMP 0610 Composing Digital Media typically learn how to compose a range of critical media objects using web-authoring languages, text, sound, images, and video, ENGCMP 1130 Projects in Digital Composition will give students the opportunity to focus closely on a particular theme or category of multimodal composition with the goal of exhibiting and/or publishing their work.

The details

Theories of writing, composing, design, critique, delivery, remediation, and revision will play a central role in our coursework. In addition to participating in a workshop space, sharing our makings, and learning from the work of others, this course will emphasize the importance of self-guided learning, independent reading, and a critical approach to designing and implementing projects. The course will conclude with a gallery showing, where students will package and present their projects for a general audience.
