PWR 2MS: Writing & Rhetoric 2: Seriously Funny: The Rhetoric of Humor
Prerequisite:
PWR 1. As a rhetorical technique, humor holds unique persuasive power on a variety of political and cultural stages, evident in popular parody, satire, roasts, alternative news sources, public relations campaigns, and advertisements.
