This three-coursesequence has “The City” as its topical focus, and it incorporates principles ofentrepreneurship and innovation through course content specifically centered on theseconcepts through experiential learning in a service project, and through critical thinkingand rhetorical analysis of students’ own research strategies using the Burkean parlormodel of academic and professional conversation.In Fall Quarter, students read texts, view films, and study other cultural products relatedto the concept of “The City.” They examine how depictions of entrepreneurs andindustry illuminate our
