Literature

Kursen bygger inte i första hand på att vi diskuterar klassiska texter som vi har läst utan på att vi skriver olika texter som vi sedan diskuterar. Vissa texter kommer dock att distribueras som förberedelse för ett visst moment. Detta kommer att ske under kursens gång.

Exempel på texter som vi kommer att läsa:

  • How to read a book/Paul Edwards
  • The Rhetoric of PowerPoint/ Jens Kjeldsen
  • Extract from Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace /Joseph M. Williams & Joseph Bizup
  • Texterna distribueras under kursens gång.
