SOCA 105

Students learn about different ways of writing reflectively and critically about art, design, digital media, and visual culture. In-class and low stakes explorations of developing ideas, understanding genres and writing tasks, and rhetorical strategies allow students to develop their voices as writers. Emphasis is on developing strategies for writing and on writing for both critical reflection and creative development, including how oral and dialogic practices can contribute to writing. Examples of Indigenous art, design, digital media, and visual culture are core content in this course; when the course is offered as part of the Indigenous Arts certificate, all examples will be drawn from Indigenous cultural practice. -- Prerequisite -- One of the following: (C+ or better in English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12, English 12 or English Literature 12), CPT score of 48 or better, or evidence of any test score or course grade listed under the Degree/diploma-level English language proficiency standards in the UFV academic calendar at www.ufv.ca/calendar/current/General/EnglishProficiency.htm. -- Corequisite -- None. -- Pre or Corequisite -- None.
