I am ambivalent to A Writer's Reference because I do not feel it is necessary to have students purchase a text when there is reliable and solid information online. I am ambivalent to the Clifford and Schilb texts because Matter is too large for our purposes and Making Arguments has limited readings.

I was surprised at how positive my students were about Barrios, Emerging. I had thought it might be a little too challenging, but the response on end of term evaluations was overwhelmingly positive. Students told me they found it refreshing to talk about "real things."
