Review

“This is the best of the brief handbooks available.”

Dr. Harryette Brown Dallas County Community College

 

“The strengths of this text are good language level and tone, nice examples of different

types of writing, logical fallacies, essay structure, etc...Strong section on argument, which can be

less than appealing to teach and read about.  Your coverage is interesting and useful”

Lisa McRaven Ozarks Technical Community College

 

 “The “Writing to Connect with the World” section reminds students that the need for good

writing continues afterschool...The greatest strength is the ease of use and narrative that

doesn’t “talk down” to students.”

Ruth Gerick University of Texas Arlington

 

“I think the handbook is one of the best on the market, which is why NHC adopted it. Strong

examples and in such an engaging format is what makes Quick Access a superior resource.”

Joyce Boatright North Harris College

 

“The acknowledgement of changes in the arena of writing to include more info about the web

and about writing that employs images–this is realistic and useful for today’s classes...I plan

to adopt.”

Diana Grumbles Southern Methodist University

 

“The coverage of plagiarism is, in my opinion, excellent.”

Joel B. Henderson Chattanooga State Technical Community College

 

“I think this is the best writing handbook on the market for clear, straightforward, and accurate

demonstration of the writing process. “

Ruth Gerick

University of Texas Arlington

 

“Quick Access seems to be much more detailed and could better stand alone [than my current

text]. It is very easy to use and takes good consideration of nonnative speaker populations.”

Kimberly Strain University of Minnesota

 

“The ESL Notes add helpful information, expanding the explanation for those who do not speak

English as their first language.”

Dorothy Minor  Tulsa Community College

 

“The section on working in the disciplines would almost sell me this book on its own.”

Lisa McRaven Ozarks Technical Community College

 

 

“I think this text’s inclusion of the research checklist, numerous examples, and screen shots - assists in student understanding and sets this text apart from its competitors.”

Joel B. Henderson Chattanooga State Technical Community College
