My E110 course employs the four modes of communication—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—in the process of composing as students study human progress as a metaphor for composition improvement. Assignments explore journeys, stewardship, technology, and leadership through inspection, reflection, and introspection. In order to present ideas with accuracy and detail, students follow the writing process with specific emphasis on revision, expanding and improving current and previously written pieces. Their writing grows just as humanity has grown. They will look into the past and the present as they explore how technology has changed humankind. Being globally aware twenty-first century citizens, the culminating assignment requires that students carefully analyze the Human Ecology piece and choose the most appropriate medium for publication given their unique audience.
