Academic Year 2012–2013

New English 1001 students will use the books listed below for two semesters: English 1001 in Fall 2012 and English 1002 in Spring 2013. That comes to a little over $100/semester, probably much less than the books for your other courses. Furthermore, these will be useful references throughout your college career. Note that you will have access to the e-book, Writing Matters, for four years. In classes across the curriculum, your professors will expect you to use it.

1. Ramage/Bean/Johnson. The Allyn & Bacon Guide to Writing. Brief 6th Edition. Boston: Pearson, 2012. This book is listed as a "custom package" on the Follett Web site because it includes two free books (Public Literacy and Workplace Literacy) that will be used in RhetComp. 2. Workplace Literacy has been revised in a custom edition for Marquette with model business documents. Neither of these books is available elsewhere, and you WILL need them for English 1002.
2. Howard. Writing Matters. NY: McGraw Hill, 2010.  This book is available either as an e-book only or as a paper book that includes access to the e-book. See flyer. They both come with 4 years of access to the e-book. If you buy the paper book, you will find the card with your access code for the e-book shrink-wrapped with the book.
3. Muller. The New World Reader. 3rd ed. Boston: Wadsworth, 2011.
