ENG 526 ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL WRITING (3 credits) (#5893)
Online
Greg Larkin
At higher levels in both the academic & business worlds, an important form of writing is the published research study. These studies may take many
different forms, in accordance with the demands and accepted conventions of each particular discipline & the meticulous "guidelines for
submissions" found in most professional journals. Students taking their first graduate course in the area of professional & technical writing often have
mistaken notions of what is involved. Students motivated to be become better writers often think that they need a class in grammar. While studying
grammar will probably make you a better grammarian, it will not necessarily make you a better writer. Ditto with editing. The writing skills we will
study in this class are beyond grammar and editing. This course will include some tutorials--as well as some basic exercises on certain key
elements of the writing of a publishable research report. But mainly, in this class we will concentrate on these objectives:
 an understanding of the components of a research report
 the ability to conceive, plan, & develop a research report or capstone project
 rhetorical analysis to understand the purpose of a research document & who the audience is
 document design for better readability & navigation
 principles of visual rhetoric
 skills to integrate visuals

listening comprehension and speaking). It gives students some knowledge of current methods and materials used for listening and speaking
instruction in ESL/EFL teaching, introduces new technologies and computer software that support oral language development, and also covers
related topics such as pronunciation and group formation for language practice. English 558 builds on the material in Eng. 548 and complements
English 559, which addresses reading and writing instruction. It is assumed that all students know the material presented in ENG 548, the required
prerequisite for Eng. 558, and can draw on it as needed.

ENG 569 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION DESIGN (3 credits) (#5900)
Online
Greg Larkin
Project management in the business sense is a professional specialization often associated with commercial construction projects. Our course
focuses on the management of publications projects. Most writing courses focus on a single writer producing a document that is under her control. It
is her document. Here the focus is on developing documents that are team produced & responsive to product development (e.g., software manuals).
There are 3 levels to our topic of document management production:
 Hackos offers a long conceptual walk-through of the project management process applied to document production & control.
 DeMarco offers a description of the climate, background, & values that nurture the kind of teams that Hackos talks about managing.
 The third level is missing from our course because it is too detailed. Those who are especially attracted to the job of document project
management may wish to learn to use Microsoft's Project Management software.
English majors are not the only ones to discover what they mean or how they want to organize a document or project through the process of
developing & writing the project. By the end of development, product managers are often ready to go back & do the project again the right way by
reorganizing, rewriting, etc. Project management was developed to curb this expensive process that requires doing the project twice. English majors
are familiar with the process of narrative development. We often literally do not know what we think about an issue until we have to write an essay
about it. Technical writing in general, & document project managers in particular, forbid professional writers to use narrative development. This
course is about how to use planning techniques, instead of narrative methods, to write technical documents.

ENG 576 LITERATURE FOR ADOLESCENTS (3 credits) (#3854)
TTh 12:45-2:00
Jean Boreen
This course focuses on Young Adult Literature and how you, as a future teacher, conceptualize how to use YA lit in the classroom by itself and with
classic texts, how YA Lit can be used as a bridge to help students understand a variety of issues and literary concepts in both literature written for
them as well as in the classic texts most school curricula expect students to master. To accomplish this, we will consider the thought-processes
behind the development of the classroom teacher's philosophy for teaching literature and how this, in turn, determines the choices s/he makes for
facilitating students' learning. Another feature of the course is to conduct a survey of young adult literature. The class will make critical evaluations of
the literature as well as investigate strategies for encouraging student reading. Finally, we will explore the use of Nancie Atwell's reading workshops
in secondary classrooms, and you will all take part in an Atwell-modeled workshop that I will facilitate with you during the months of February and
March. NOTE: This course also contains one of the signature assignments you must complete to graduate from the English Education program at
NAU.
Note to undergraduates: You must have permission from Dr. Boreen to take this course

ENG 631 ARGUMENTATION (3 credits) (#5904)
Online
Laura Gray-Rosendale
This course examines how understandings of argumentation and rhetoric have altered throughout history. We will study how the art of persuasion by
examining the work of The Sophists, Plato, Aristotle, the Romans, Contemporary Rhetoricians, and Postmodern Rhetoricians. This historical
trajectory will expose changes and developments in how argumentation has been perceived over time.
Importantly, English 631 takes a rather different approach than other graduate courses that you may have taken in the past. Since understanding the
history of argumentation and rhetoric is a very time intensive enterprise, we will concentrate our efforts on three major tasks: reading, short writing
assignments, and discussion. The short writing assignments and discussion are meant to allow students to address theory and history but also to
apply this knowledge to everyday teaching and professional writing situations. To allow room for this intensive theoretical and practical inquiry, there
will be no final written project required for the course.
The course texts will be: James A. Herrick. The History and Theory of Rhetoric: An Introduction. 4th edition. New York: Pearson, 2005 and Patricia
Bizzell and Bruce Herzberg. The Rhetorical Tradition: Readings From Classical Times to the Present. 2nd edition. Boston: Bedford, 2001. It is
important that you purchase these particular editions.

ENG 685 GRADUATE RESEARCH: Rhetoric and the Teaching of Writing (3 credits) (#6111)
Online
Sibylle Gruber
This course is intended to help you develop independent research and work skills. The activities in this course are designed to answer a question or
solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the classroom. In essence, you will
create a project that engages you in learning essential knowledge and life-enhancing skills through an extended, student-influenced inquiry process
structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks. You will move through an inquiry process that stimulates
your thinking, engages you in authentic tasks, and demands demonstration of mastery.
When you design your project, you will encounter (and struggle with) the central concepts and principles of rhetoric, writing, and literacy. In the
process of completing your projects, you will enhance and apply your skills in successful communication and presentation skills, organization and
time management skills, research and inquiry skills, self-assessment and reflection skills, and leadership skills. You will be able to reflect upon your
own ideas and opinions, exercise voice and choice, and make decisions that affect project outcomes and the learning process in general. You can
also work within your communities while seeing the positive effect of your project.
Your performance is assessed on an individual basis, and takes into account the quality of the product produced, the depth of content understanding
demonstrated, and the contributions made to the ongoing process of project realization.
ENG 685 GRADUATE RESEARCHE (3 credits) (#3875)
Online. Individually scheduled meetings with student peers and professor
Donelle Ruwe
