Abstract
As part of my participation in the Backwards by Design Retreat during summer of 2012, I chose to design the first course of the three-part series of courses on writing required for the Art History Major. A/HI 271: Introduction to Writing and Critical Thinking is also a GUR.
My goal overarching goal was to implement the idea of a threshold concept within the course, and during the retreat I identified that concept as:
In academic writing, well-grounded claims are understood to emerge out of evidence, but in art historical writing, as in any interpretive writing, it is essential to understand that the frames of reference one brings to the analysis will change the kinds of claims that can be discovered.
