Composition exam material

The collection consists of materials from the beginning of the Cain Project in 1998 through ten years of its existence at Rice University. Included are proposals, course information, instructional materials, photographs of student work, reports of assessment activities, newsletters, dvds, and the final report of an assessment by off-campus researchers. In addition, the collection includes significant information about the university's composition requirements, testing, and recommendations for university-wide changes. There are reports that led to the formation of the Program in Writing and Communication in 2012.
