RHE 306: First-Year Writing

This is the University of Texas first-year writing course, a class that focuses on the Department of Rhetoric and Writing's first-year forum text. All sections of Rhetoric 306 take the first-year forum book as a central object of study, and students are asked "to give sustained and serious attention to a major public issue."

RHE 306: Rhetoric and Composition (Spring 2005)

Rhetoric 306 (Rhetoric and Composition) is an introductory writing course that helps students to develop their writing, critical reading, and critical thinking skills. The course is built around a text selected by the Division and Rhetoric and Writing(DRW). The DRW calls this program the First-Year forum, and it's goal is to get students to "read, discuss, and write about a book that examined an important cultural issue" (See "A Brief History of RHE 306"). The text for the 2004-5 school year was Barry Glassner's The Culture of Fear. Each year, the DRW hopes to foster a community discussion about a particular topic.
