Major Learning Outcome 6 required the completion of an Information-technology literacy and research assessment, also known as GWAR, which was fulfilled by taking the course Hcom 312. This writing course introduced background information dealing with analyzing and writing. Throughout the course the information related to writing was introduced. The course required students to write a 10 page research paper and present to the class, dealing with a notorious book “The Seven Pillars”, which I found challenging because it required intensive research and effort. Overall, I feel this course helped me develop a greater appreciation for writing. This course fulfilled Major Learning Outcome 6, while at the same time, expanding the knowledge of Rhetorical argumentation. This course concentrated on introducing information regarding the history of arguing and by doing this, students developed a better understanding for many of the different cultural ways of arguing. This course also placed an emphasis on oral and communications skills that were fulfilled through a series of oral presentations and research papers.
