“[University of Texas at Austin] Signature Courses grew from a rich history of efforts to have a meaningful core curriculum, one that focuses more on learning than content… the overriding goal was teaching students what it meant to be a successful college scholar—how to communicate well, orally and with the written word, how to discern viable and solid information from the unsubstantiated, and how to sharpen thinking while looking at complex issues from multiple perspectives.” Lori Holleran Steiker & Patricia Moran Micks
