Comprehensive Rhetorical Analysis Guide
COMS 100B Class—Sac State
Spring 2023
“I was thoroughly impressed with Ike's approach. I even asked him if he would be willing to share his document with the class as it might help increase their understanding of the analysis process.
Unsurprisingly, and unprompted, toward the end of the semester, several of his classmates notified me of the help he offered to them through emails and texts between classes. Some even said that they would not have passed had it not been for his hard work. I too am grateful for all the help he provided them.”

Description
An outline document thoroughly explaining (via comments on the right-hand side) what to write in each section of the rhetorical analysis assignments in COMS 100B. I decided to make this document in close collaboration with the professor to help myself and my peers ensure that we were meeting all the requirements for the assignments.
