PWR 1MGE: Writing & Rhetoric 1: Numbers and Metrics: Rhetoric of Calculation and Quantification

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. This class takes as its theme quantification and what effects it has on society.

Instead, we will step back and think about how numbers rise into policy conversations, how they emerge from science or study, and how they can become deeply contested or take on unexpected meanings. For full course description and video, see https://pwrcourses.stanford.edu/pwr1/pwr1mge. For the PWR 1 catalog go to https://pwrcourses.stanford.edu/pwr-1. Enrollment is handled by the PWR office.
