Unit Goals

This unit will be developed personally by you to help extend the goals of the course. Course Director meetings are a good place to discuss the many options available, from allowing students to define their own topic and situation to giving them more practice with other contexts (e.g. other types of civic discourse, other research strategies, personal writing in a new context, etc.).
