EWRT1A30: syllabus and reading for Thursday

Here is a pdf version of the  syllabus.

And here is the reading we will discuss in class on Thursday.

EWRT1A section 30 - the texts

Welcome to EWRT1A section 30!

I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up on the texts. There are three required books for the class, all of which should be available at the bookstore.

• EWRT1A Reader. This is the main reader for the class. It is a print-on-demand reader, so there are only enough for 30 students (the class limit) and the book cannot be purchased anywhere else. The cover is red and it has my name, Nick Mullins, on it. It also has the dates 2012-2013 on the cover. Don't worry. This is the correct book. I am using the same reader that I used last year.
• Rules for Writers, seventh edition. This is the writing handbook for the class. If you already have another handbook, you can probably use that one. You just need to make sure it has the current MLA guidelines.
• Fun Home, Alison Bechdel. This is the book-length work we will read the last few weeks of class.

See you Tuesday, September 24th.
