Revealing the writing process through interactive learning
A Guide for College and Beyond presents writing, reading, and research processes dynamically, using a variety of visuals to illustrate how readers interact with texts and how writers compose. One of the first textbook authors to focus on multimedia composing, Lester Faigley employs his own advice to engage students in every step of the writing process–for both college composition and everyday life–and pulls back the curtain on how writers work.

Aligned with the learning goals for a first-year college writing course identified in the 2014 Outcomes Statement from the Council of Writing Program Administrators, A Guide for College and Beyond gives students the support they need to succeed in first-year composition, in their other courses, and in their careers. In the Fourth Edition, students can also practice and explore what they’ve learned chapter-by-chapter with interactive MyWritingLab tools, assignments and projects.

Also available with MyWritingLab™

[Danielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had this for my college writing class Fall 2011. Even though we were assigned readings from it, I didn't read a whole lot, except to look at for quick reference on the type of essay I needed to write next. It explained everything well enough that I understood what I needed to focus on for each essay.

This is the textbook that's required for the class I teach, but I remain skeptical of its usefulness.

Two Stars: This book was not good for me. I can (probably) understand why someone else might like it, but I didn't. I won't be recommending it to anyone.
