Fuck that.

[Phillip]

I only read a few of the essay from this book for my Pedagogy class, but it seems like a really solid collection overall. There is a wide range of articles, from various points of view and based in various comp/rhet theories, and the book deals with a wide range of issues comp instructors are likely to be concerned with.

[Fawn Hinton]

The articles compiled within this book are thought provoking and helpful to anyone teaching in this discipline. There is a wide array of viewpoints offered, so one is able to pick and choose different concepts with the goal of tailoring their teaching style.
