“I love that Successful College Writing is so accessible to all of my students. Many texts are intimidating and overly complex. SCW sticks with the basics and allows me to augment when I need to. Last year my colleagues and I thought about switching texts, and we looked at nearly every text available. After an exhaustive search, we realized that SCW remains the best for our students.”
— Elizabeth Jones, Wor-Wic Community College
"This text is a fantastic resource for traditional college students and adult students as well because of its clear examples, accessible layout, and insightful commentary. Our students love the engaging visuals, example student papers, detailed analysis of readings, and updated technology sections; teachers will love how comprehensively this text covers everything from the writing process to credibility of Internet sites."
— Laura Reed Goodson, Montreat College
“My students and I have enjoyed using this excellent text. It sharpens students’ critical reading, thinking, and writing skills. McWhorter’s excellent information on individualized learning styles to structure different writing strategies and writing assignments is Particularly good.”
— Bill M. Stiffler, Harford Community College
“Successful College Writing, when used as intended, does exactly what the title promises—it creates successful college writers.”
— Nandan Choksi, Broward Community College
“I have had a wonderful time teaching from Successful College Writing. I use the learning styles inventory at the beginning of the semester as a way to frame how they view themselves as learners, readers, and writers. The insight that the students receive from understanding themselves serves as a great tool for them to become better thinkers, readers, and writers.”
