I use this book in my Writing 2010 class. It is ok, but many of the examples that are used are not good examples. For instance, the example of Body Odor (BO) for a report is very poorly written and used "I" a lot. My students were writing academic reports that used professional language and I had to find other examples for them to use. The class requirements don't match up with what the book states.

Pretty good composition book.
Simple, short chapters.
Theme is by genre of writing, but adaptable to any approach. Recognizes writing process issues, of course.
DeVry uses it for both its freshman composition courses, so I hope to use it again when and if I teach the second course.
