This Specialization from Arizona State University Global Launch empowers students to communicate ideas with impact in academic and professional settings. Learners will master Aristotle’s Triangle of Persuasion - logic, credibility, and emotion - to build well-supported arguments. Across three courses, you will learn to evaluate source trustworthiness, identify logical fallacies, and address bias. By the end of this program, you will have the tools to synthesize information from multiple sources and present compelling, ethical, and persuasive messages.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will complete hands-on assignments including writing comprehensive summaries, drafting persuasive responses, and performing self-reflections on their communication style. These projects require students to apply theoretical frameworks, like hedging and logical inference, to real-world academic scenarios.
