Although the word “rhetoric” some mes refers to empty or decep ve speech, for centuries rhetoric was a highly
respected course of study that taught speakers and writers how to communicate effec vely on mul ple topics
and in various situa ons. In this course, then, we will move back and forth between classical understandings of
rhetoric and the current presiden al campaign. Along with websites, speeches, and ar cles on the presiden al
campaign, we will read primary and secondary texts in classical rhetoric, scholarly ar cles on presiden al rhetoric,
and past examples of presiden al speeches and debates.
