Rhetorical Concepts Exam

This following quiz uses multiple-choice and true/false questions to test your understanding of rhetoric, including the appeals to reasoning (logos), character and/or credibility (ethos), and emotions (ethos), and the strategies used to make them, such as an author using statistics to appeal to reasoning, the appropriate conventions of a genre to establish credibility, and narratives of emotional events to appeal to emotions. Before taking it, you will want to review your notes from our class Zooms, the assigned reading from Writing Arguments, Aristotle's Persuasive Appeals & Strategies chart, and our work on the Rhetorical Analysis Discussion Forum. 

There are 25 questions worth 2 points each and you have 75 minutes to take the quiz; however, and you may take the quiz twice, and the higher of the two grades will be retained. Please know that you cannot open the quiz, pause it, and return to it. I suggest you make notes the first time you take the quiz, so when you go back to it, you can improve your score. Questions are not numbered and they are shuffled.
