1. In this class, have we made a convincing case for the necessity of digital rhetoric as a separate methodology inherently deserving its own course title?
2. In terms of working in academia, have we determined who our research is responsible to? Are we responsible only to ourselves, other academics, a wider public audience? 3. If the internet is an endless procession of simulacrum, have we established a framework by which to evaluate what work needs to be done and what work is less useful? |

1. If we decide that there is a such thing as a digital rhetoric, what are the implications of this for Comp/Rhet as a discipline? Should the existence of a digital rhetoric inherently change the discipline, or merely present another wing of it?
2. If we decide that there is a such thing as a digital rhetoric, what are the implications of this for using digital environments in the classroom? What kind of considerations are we then required to make--beyond its convenience--in using technology in education? 3. Do our theories change if we use the language of digital media instead of digital environments? Are these terms interchangeable? |

1. If we take it as given that there is a difference between rhetoric in the digital and non-digital environments, how does the concept of a canon shift when we move from the non-digital to the digital? (linked to Question 6 from QFA 1)
2. Are scholars of rhetoric in digital environments more or less likely to appeal to analogues in the sciences (hard or social)? Why do you think this occurs? (linked to Question 19 from QFA 1) 3. Given our discussions in this class and others, would you classify digital rhetoric/rhetoric in a digital environment as being more modernist or postmodernist? Why would you classify it in this way? Can you actually classify it as one or the other? |
