Issues in Aesthetics
Section 64100
- Note:
Given the nature of the writing curriculum and the workshop format of the class, joining a Writing 150 section after the second week of the semester places a student at a severe disadvantage in terms of the goals and requirements of the course. For this reason, requests to add 150 during the third week are usually denied. On the basis of extraordinary circumstances, a student may initiate an exception request at the Writing Program main office in JEF 150; such requests require administrative approval.
Note: Since Aristotle, philosophers have recognized that a well-lived life (what was sometimes termed a beautiful, ethical life) is tied inextricably to notions of the aesthetic and the beautiful; those parts of life that are enthralling, spiritually enriching, artistically compelling. WRIT 150: Issues in Aesthetics provides students with hands-on, workshop-intensive instruction in writing, critical reasoning, and analytical and rhetorical skills through the lens of art and beauty, affording students a deeper, richer, and more individualized insight into notions of the aesthetic - Session Dates (session code 001)
