Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-16 00:00:00 Elvis Anderson Teaching Rhetoric as Intellectual Work May not be the best anthology of rhetoric pedagogy that I have read (Cross-Talk in Comp Theory, Teaching Developmental Writing, and Crossing Borderlands are amongst these anthologies), but its weaknesses stem mainly from the post-process pedagogy essays that emerge in the philosophy section. Having first encountered post-process in Duthier's First-Time Up, I felt that Duthier had oversimplified their position in order to advocate his own personal brand, but the post-process pedagogical theory present in here really does have an anit-educational aesthetic to it that seems to disregard what teaching writing as a process enables us to do in the classroom. My only other complaint is that at times this book can read more like a history book than as a theory anthology, but there are still plenty of great sections in here that make this worthwhile for any teacher of First Year Writing.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-07 00:00:00 Michael Schall If I could leave negative stars I would. While I understand this is a college text book and therefore boring, the writer has a very interesting way of being able to say the exact same thing over and over again in slightly different wording. I feel like I would throw half of this book away and it wouldn't change a thing I would learn.
