<p>Any ideas what books do we have to read for the freshman English courses at Duke?</p>
<p>All the writing20 courses vary from semester to semester so its hard to say</p>
<p>When do you find out?</p>
<p>you can find out like late july early august from the textbook section on dukestores website. The books are definitely highly dependent on what writing 20 course you choose but one required text for almost all classes this year has been Rewriting by Joseph Harris. Oh and when you select your writing 20 course, try to avoid "writing the academy inside out." A lot of my friends took it, they really did not like the topic.</p>
<p>This is a link to the schedule of classes planned at Duke for the fall semester. If you go under writing, you will be able to see the classes available. The synopsis should give you an idea of what the class is about, and oftentimes, it lists the books you will read.</p>
