Recenzje

"Anyone struggling with assessment and technology will find this book helpful. Highly recommended."

—CHOICE

"In 'Composition in Convergence', Penrod argues persuasively that writing in new media requires us to rethink the 'processes, characteristics, and purposes valued' in such texts. Penrod rightly calls for 'deep assessment' of writing in academic classrooms, assessment that goes beneath surface correctness."
