Propose a Course
Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis.
UMD Communication and English instructors who would like to propose a new course for the Minor in Rhetoric should email the coordinators:
- a course description
- a brief explanation of how the course supports the minor’s vision to provide students with ways of seeing the world as a place open to change and skills for acting on its possibilities
- a course syllabus and/or brief answers to the following questions:
- What required readings does the course use to teach students a rhetorical perspective?
- What major assignment makes the course a better fit for the “Rhetorical Theory and Analysis of Discourse” course list OR the “Writing and Speaking Skills” course list?
Before submitting a proposal, it might be helpful to review the list of all courses currently approved in the minor.
