Welcome to ENG 252

You will find most of our necessary materials at our Blackboard page. From our course description:

OBJECTIVES:
This course will examine the rapidly expanding field of New Media, an awkward umbrella term usually used to refer to the web, blogs, Facebook, Twitter and other kinds of on-line communities. Much of this course will require engaging in the actual production of writing within these spheres. We will examine how New Media reflects cultural assumptions including sexism, racism and classism. A key issue will be "ownership" in the age of instant digital copying. While analyzing texts within their cultural contexts, we will utilize a variety of approaches to help develop further your critical reading, thinking, and writing skills. You will be expected to write pieces that demonstrate your ability to read closely and analyze carefully, building upon and broadening your writing skills (4 credit hours).
