Theory and Literature of Rhetoric: COM 303

The principal purpose for the Rhetorical Resources page is to integrate course and supplementary material from COM 303: Theory and Literature of Rhetoric, at Bradley University.

Important item about the notes:

The lecture notes contained in the files have been developed for classroom pedagogy over the years. They come from a variety of sources. Obviously, I have interpreted the materials. In some cases, my students have contributed to the collection through reading summaries and outlines. Responsibility for the interpretations contained herein are mine; folks I've adopted and adapted should not be held responsible for my interpretations.
