We will pay particular attention to the ways in which the self and society shape and are shaped by our information networks, and will look at the structure of these systems. We will examine such topics as social and collaborative networking, information retrieval, database structures, tagging, and copyright issues. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to understand the function and limits of rhetorical choices within information production and retrieval. http://tc.eserver.org/14181.html http://tc.eserver.org/14181.html This course is designed to strengthen your understanding and mastery of language in the context of technical and professional communication. This involves exploring the concept of rhetoric and the various rhetorical options available for a given professional writing task. The truth is, you already know what rhetoric is in an instinctive way. Without knowing it, you use rhetoric in conversation and personal letters. The aim of the course, however, is to raise your rhetorical awareness to a more conscious and effective level when you sit down to write in the workplace. http://tc.eserver.org/10644.html http://tc.eserver.org/10644.html Offers an extensive list of commonly confused words, their definitions and the correct way to use them.
