Assignment On Rhetorical Devices

R_C 2001 Reflective Essay

The objective of the first essay was to enhance the students’ knowledge of the literacies of our field of study, so we can be successful in whatever we are learning. In this assignment, there were two main goals for the outcome. The first goal entailed that the students must have a great knowledge of the study they are going to be talking about. They must read and analyzing text from not only their field but others that might help them along the way. While doing this, they will use rhetorical devices to help understand how the text was structured and not just what lies within the text.
