Choosing an R1B

I thought I'd let you all know that you can find course descriptions for the R1B courses on offer on individual department web sites:

• English


• Rhetoric (descriptions are not yet up)


• Comparative Literature


• Gender and Women's Studies (it looks like there's only one section)


• College Writing

Several other humanities departments also offer R1B (or variants thereof that will fill the R&C requirement), like French, Scandinavian, German, Spanish & Portuguese, and History of Art.


I also wanted to mention that Robin Blaser will be reading for Lunch Poems (in the library) on Nov. 6. He'll also be doing a conversation with Robert Hass on Nov. 5 (Wednesday). Blaser was part of the "Berkeley Renaissance," along with poets like Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan. We'll be reading poems by Robert Duncan soon, as well as poems by Robert Hass! Check it out.
