E 306 Rodi Syllabus An expanded and more discursive version of the Kinneavy syllabus (1976)
Contains a five-part introduction to the course, including course objectives and grading criteria. Though drawing heavily from Kinneavy's 1976 syllabus, this syllabus modifies and renames units and replaces several readings. It also employs a more narrative style and includes greater detail and more exhibits.
Although designed to be used in the 1978–1979 school year, copyright issues meant that ultimately this syllabus was never used.
-
E 306, 1979-1980 This is the fourth version of the syllabus originally produced in 1975. Includes an introduction, operating procedures, 9 unit descriptions, and a description of the final exam.

-
E 306, 1976 Includes an introduction, 10 unit descriptions, and a description of the final exam.
The introduction explains that this syllabus adds instruction in mechanics to fit with a stricter placement examination, which also focused on mechanics and which reduced the number of students testing out of E 306 from 49% to 30%. The discussion of the final exam explains why the English Department has decided to keep the exam optional.
Every unit in the syllabus features goals, suggestions for teaching, suggested readings in the handbooks and textbooks, and many (such as Units 5 and 6) feature sophisticated rhetorical theory. 9 of the 10 units require a paper at the end.
Unit 1: Uses of Language
Unit 2: Self-Expression (keeping a journal)
Unit 3: Writing a Paper on Techniques of Propaganda and Persuasion
Unit 4: The Library Research Paper
Unit 5: Making Generalizations
Unit 6: Evaluating our Own and Others' Norms

Unit 9: Cause and Effects

E 306: Rhetoric and Composition, Getting Started, 1988 This version of the syllabus is based on the 1987 syllabus but with additions/revisions. This 1988 version of the syllabus is revised to reflect new texts. Reference to most of the particular writing assignments have been deleted. Further emphasis is given to researched writing assignments. All of the units are largely the same, with the exception of Unit 2, which shows substantial revision, including a sample topic about bilingual education in Texas and less instruction about how to use the Scott Foresman handbook in the classroom. The appendix on collaborative learning has been removed, and the short history of rhetoric has been moved to an appendix.
