ENG 7980: History and Theories of Composition (HTC) is a course required for all MA and PhD students in rhetoric and composition at Ohio University. This section of HTC was designed with two specific goals in mind. The first was to introduce students to multiple theories of composition, and the second was to not only teach but also to facilitate learning transfer. Ultimately, students would each create their own "theory" of composition. Class content was designed to connect to contexts outside of the immediate classroom setting--specifically to students' other classes, research projects, and teaching. Class assignments were designed to draw outside content into the class as well as to push class content into teaching and research. This course design has been co-written by the instructor of HTC (Ryan) and four graduate students who took the class in fall 2017 (David, Sue, Courtney, and Chris). This article presents an extension of class content. David, Sue, Courtney, and Chris helped Ryan to reflect on the curriculum and update it based on what they learned about learning transfer.
