Susan Cooper, Linda Yee, Craig Norman and Michele DuBarry feel this is very appropriate for 273 for these reasons:
-Part I teaches the most important rhetorical modes (logical division, cause/effect, comparison/contrast, argumentative) with an emphasis on process. It also provides lots of models and exercises.
-Part II covers quoting, paraphrasing, citing sources and summarizing
-Readings that students can respond to
-Highlights words from Academic Word List (AWL)
-An appendix with a comprehensive review of grammar (including clauses) and mechanics and an editing practice for each point.
-An online teacher's manual
