Críticas:

"This is the most comprehensive [brief] handbook I have seen." "It is among the best of the brief handbooks and answers a wide range of compositional needs." "There is no better reference tool for the student beginning college research than THE BRIEF HANDBOOK." "My favorite things are: . . . the asurvival skillsa--students often read this on their own because the label attracts them. Iad imagine that this is the only place they get good advice on writing in-class exams." "The authors, while holding true to the elements and expectations of a brief handbook, had the forethought to include and examine Critical Thinking and Argument--the two aspects of writing required by every good collegiate-level teacher. This welcomed addition will change the landscape of "brief" handbooks." "My favorite things are: . . . the ?survival skills?--students often read this on their own because the label attracts them. I?d imagine that this is the only place they get good advice on writing in-class exams." "My favorite things are: . . . the 'survival skills'--students often read this on their own because the label attracts them. I'd imagine that this is the only place they get good advice on writing in-class exams."
