Writing and reading across the curriculum textbook

Received product as promised. Bought this book in my first year of college and it has come in handy for all my classes. Book was alot cheaper than school textbook. Would buy again from seller.

If you have trouble writing, this book is a must have to help you get better.

Very Good

All the pages seem to be there, the covers are still in place, and there is very little highlighting.

Great Service

Received book within a week of purchase. Book in excellent condition. Great Service!

The best apparatus out there

This cut down by more than half the time it has taken my students to learn to write summaries, integrate sources, understand argument, and write syntheses. Many of the readings are also interesting and productive, especially those on Folklore and Obedience to Authority. I'd teach it in combination with a course reader, though, since there's almost no attention to the process of helping students find their voice and write more beautiful prose. But no one book can do everything, and I plan to keep teaching this one. My students like it too -- with its focus on arguable ideas and the wonderful step-by-step breakdown of the writing process.
