ENGLISH 205-DL : Intermediate Composition: Information Literacy

Description

As the information ecosystem evolves, so must consumers and producers of information adjust their evaluative, research, and writing strategies. This writing course focuses on learning to: recognize how technologies affect the production and consumption of information and misinformation; locate information using well-designed search strategies and the most appropriate sources; evaluate information and its sources critically; access and use information ethically and legally; demonstrate an understanding of context, audience, and purpose in writing tasks; create compelling written content to illustrate mastery of a topic; use graceful language that is virtually error-free.

The course is conducted completely online. A technology fee will be added to tuition.

Note: This course is limited to School of Professional Studies students only. Undergraduate students in other schools at Northwestern are not permitted to enroll in this course.
