Composition 4/5

This thematic composition course is meant to accompany Great Books 4: The American Idea or Great Books 5: Return to Tradition. The assignments require students to "reflect & write" on questions discovered in the readings and discussed in Socratic discussion.  For some assignments, the students are required to use an imitative writing approach, taught formally in our rhetoric class, to craft their essays in the mold of the writing of the authors read.  This course is not a formal class on writing, but is a supplement to our Great Books courses.

Course activities include both composition and peer assessment.  There is no live class component.  Grading & tutor time are available.
