Rhetoric and Writing
Applied Communication
joint writing/communication skills center in library, if we could overcome our differences; possibility of a joint PEAW course that could be a two-semester speaking/writing intensive course with peer mentors (cornerstone course) that would count as meeting Rhetoric course requirements & speech requirement (2 for 3 courses for students) - I’ve done this at another school; it would need lots of ground level discussion and buy-in.
English
Most of our faculty could teach in the composition track provided that the creative works and literary exposition were not excluded. This collaboration could be a risk to the MA, as the classes our faculty would most immediately connect with are often taught by GAs.
