Project description
For this final unit, students will synthesize the rhetorical techniques they have learned in units two and three and apply them to an analysis of four short essays on the current crisis in higher education. Students will synthesize various points of view on the topic to then argue their own view. For the final paper (4-6 pages), students will integrate everything they have learned so far into a sophisticated analysis of the issue, providing their own argument that articulates their solution to the problem.

Following Paragraphs:
Unlike our three previous paper descriptions, I will not be providing you with guidelines for your body paragraphs. You will chose your own rhetorical methods of analysis with which to interrogate this issue and the order win which you will address them. As always, each paragraph should end with a transitional phrase to the next paragraph as well.
