Through this course, students will read a variety of thinkers (historians, journalists, citizens) in a workshop format with in-class discussion and frequent reading and writing assignments. Students will be paired with individuals to interview from Paterson. They will complete a variety of research and writing tasks, including articles, interviews, profiles, histories, reports, fact sheets, reviews, and web-based writing of use to audiences outside of the University. Most of the writing for the course will be published and distributed to a much larger audience and to different kinds of readers than the student is accustomed to, allowing them to experience how their writing affects the community.
