(Redirected from Arntson:Analytical Writing)
This course uses writing as a mode of discovery and understanding. We'll discuss in class what exactly that means, and ways in which it might be leveraged toward interesting writing products. The class follows a scheme necessitated by the venue of my physical classroom in Seattle, Washington.
