[Andrea]

This is probably one of the worst textbooks you could possibly read on how to write in college. It consists of only four chapters, one of which accounts for at least half of the book. Most of the material in the book I had previously learned in high school. It was a total waste of my time to read it, and the English class itself was pointless as well.
