Great College Tool

Reading Critically, Writing Well: A Reader and Guide This is the most helpful tool that I have found for helping to write ALL the papers I've needed for my college courses.

School requirement

A school required book. Purchased for a college course and used quite a lot. Great information and examples, I will be keeping it for future reference in my career!

As a teacher I love it!

As an English 101 Composition instructor, I found this book hand-holds the students through the process of creating different types of essays with wonderful essay examples. The book also gives great tips (questions to ask) for how to choose topics--a major problem for students.The book became the outline for my entire syllabus because it's so well organized.The students in my class did not rank the book well at the end of class review, but I don't think they put much effort into the course or read the book.I'll be using the book again to teach the course though.
