Rhetoric 2/Senior Thesis (H)

The Wilson Hill Senior Thesis course, Rhetoric 2, serves as an culminating academic experience for seniors. It facilitates students in applying and showcasing their skills in rhetoric, grammar, and dialectic, accumulated over their academic careers. This course encourages students to conduct in-depth research on a topic of their choice, culminating in a 12-15 page academic essay, followed by a condensed blog post, and a final presentation to a broad audience.

Throughout the course, students are introduced to key rhetorical concepts, presentation skills, and strategies for academic research, including evaluating sources, navigating electronic resources, and reading texts analytically. The course is designed to be a rigorous yet celebratory exploration of each student's academic journey, demanding consistent effort while celebrating their accomplishments.
