About the Author:
David Skwire taught for 25 years at Cuyahoga Community College and has degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Cornell University. In addition to being the author or coauthor of all editions of WRITING WITH A THESIS, he also has coauthored STUDENTS BOOK OF COLLEGE ENGLISH (Longman), now in its tenth edition.
Review:
"This is an excellent first-year composition text that is organized clearly and solidly introduces students to the process of writing, establishing a firm foundation from which to proceed as student writers."
"It is a concise, entertaining, well focused text for freshman composition, with readings that are appropriate in length for beginning writers."
"I would say that it is beautifully clear, and simple enough to use in a developmental writing course. I like the book for developmental classes because, unlike many other developmental texts, it looks like a college-level textbook, rather than like an elementary-school level workbook."
