Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-01 00:00:00 Melissa Kit This is a good book which is written by a guy who is a masterful reader of English papers and also a mathmatician: it is therefore a book full of lists. Hopefully, one can forget all the lists (lists of classifications of argument, of types of acceptable evidence for claims, of claims themselves, of fallacies, etc) and still retain the substance. Fulkerson includes a generous amount of excerpts which he then examines as a model using his lists as tools. I have been grading student papers for a while now, but I feel like I learned could take some real tips from grading over Fulkerson's shoulder.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-27 00:00:00 Sean Howard Heavy on the theory side for a training manual, but it does have good points. Even though much has been written on conferencing since this book's publication, it's still a good introductory text on the matter.
