Recenzje

"There are some excellent essays here and a range of topics (writing across the curriculum, working conditions for postsecondary writing teachers, the integration of technology in the writing curriculum, and community service)....I like the goal of this anthology, which is designed to be used as a text for courses on writing pedagogy. The questions posed at the end of each essay are thoughtful and prompt self-reflection and discussion..."
