Written by a sitting college president who has presided over transformative change at a state university, this book takes on the big questions and issues of change and change management, what needs to be done and how to do it. Writing in a highly accessible style, the author recommends changes for higher education such as the reallocation of resources to support full-time faculty members in foundation-level courses, navigable pathways from community college to the university, infusion rather than proliferation of courses, and the role of state universities in countering the disappearance of the middle class. The book describes how these changes can be made, as well as why we must make them if our society is to thrive in the twenty-first century.

"" "To understand the ways students learn to write, we must go beyond the small and all too often marginalized component of the curriculum that treats writing explicitly and look at the broader, though largely tacit traditions students encounter in the whole curriculum," explains David R. Russell, in the introduction to this singular study. The updated edition provides a comprehensive history of writing instruction outside general composition courses in American secondary and higher education, from the founding public secondary schools and research universities in the 1870s, through the spread of the writing-across-the-curriculum movement in the 1980s, through the WAC efforts in contemporary curriculums.
This hardcover version of the comprehensive McGraw-Hill Handbook includes foldouts on documentation/sourcing, and new sections including "Start Smart" to help students know where to begin and how to navigate the writing situation for all their common assignments. The Maimon handbooks support student and instructor success by consistently presenting and using the writing situation as a framework for beginning, analyzing and navigating any type of writing. Start Smart offers an easy, step-by-step process map to navigate three common types of writing assignments. Other new features support critical thinking and deeper understandings of common assignments. Its digital program addresses critical instructor and administrator needs -- with adaptive diagnostic tools, individualized learning plans, peer review, and outcomes based assessment. Connect Composition will also fully integrate into the Blackboard CMS for single sign on and autosync for all assignment and grade book utilities.
This new pocket-size handbook is a handy reference for student writers in composition courses as well as in courses across the curriculum.
As we wrote the first edition of The McGraw-Hill Handbook, our
students were in our minds, acting as our chief consultants. We
knew that their perspectives on college life were different from
those of previous generations of students, and so were their
expectations. We understood that they needed a handbook for the
twenty-first century, with state-of-the-art resources on writing,
researching, and graphic design. They might be using a handbook in
an English composition class at 9:00 AM, but at 10:00 AM they might
be preparing PowerPoints for a speech course, and at 11:00 AM they
might need the handbook to help with a history assignment. More
than any other textbook, their handbook was their guide, not just
to writing, but also to learning in college.
