Ebook PDF Rules for Writers, by Diana Hacker, Nancy Sommers
When students routinely use their handbook in the course, they see its value, find that it’s a faster way to get answers than search engines like Google, learn to rely on it as a reference, and are more likely to achieve the goals of the course. And when that handbook is Rules for Writers, you can be sure the advice they find is practical and reliable—with help for composing and revising, writing arguments, analyzing texts, using grammar and punctuation correctly, and working with sources. In revising the eighth edition, Nancy Sommers has woven a new emphasis on reading critically throughout the first section of the handbook, introduced advice for analyzing multimodal texts, and added help for public speaking. New practical Writing Guides support students working through college assignments in a variety of genres. And new peer review advice helps students effectively comment on drafts and apply feedback to revisions of their own work. All of these improvements help student writers—but they also save you time and effort. You can draw from Rules for Writers for planning class discussions, conducting in-class workshops, and providing feedback on student work that they can easily apply. Rules for Writers even comes with a complete instructor’s manual, Teaching with Hacker Handbooks, with stepped-out lesson plans to customize and sample assignments, syllabi, and rubrics from your peers.

Review "One thing I felt was a helpful tool was the writing handbook. It helped me get an idea on how my writing should look for different prompts and it helped out the most on my citing. I will keep my handbook throughout college for sure. I used it for every paper I wrote this semester in all my classes, even in civil engineering." - Scott Wedgeworth, Merrimack College "I like the affordability, accessibility, and convenience of Rules for Writers. This little book is packed with useful information for novice and seasoned writers." - Elizabeth Joseph, Tarrant County College "I like its price, its length, and the fact that it has very little excess in its explanations." - Marylynne Diggs, Clark College

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great English textbook By Cailyn E. I was required to get this book for my college English composition class and thought it was very helpful and well laid out. The book did a good job of explaining concepts and then giving example of how and when you would need to use them.This includes sections on grammar concepts like commas, semi colons and dash but also things like how to do and annotated bibliography and how to format papers in MLA and APA styles. Before reading this book I had only written in MLA but after I knew how to format my APA style papers. This is really important because you never know what style a professor is going to ask you to use. It also had a very extensive section on how to cite material in a couple different styles which came in handy in other classes last semester as well. Some Professors and teachers will let you slide if your citations are a mess but there are other that will deduct points if they are not cited properly and while citation websites are great, they never seem to collect all the needed information and you are sure to get marked down if you do not do the citations by had. For these cases this book comes in handy. I would recommend this book to other college students or high school students.
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I love this book By Shawn A. Murray I used an earlier version of this book when I taught English. I love this book. I think the addition of more exercises was a good choice. I'm not fond of the wire binding, but it makes it much less expensive, and it lays flat, so as long as a student is careful, it works really well.Excellent book, and a great reference.
