For introductory and advanced composition courses.
When Muriel Harris was first asked about the tutoring textbooks she used in her Purdue University writing center, she said she didn't use any. At that time she hadn't found any text that could effectively help her students. When asked what would make a textbook effective, the answer came easily: 30 years of tutoring experience had taught her that a truly useful textbook would have ways to help students find the information they were seeking without having to know the terminology, would be clear and easy to understand for all students, and would be written in a student-friendly language and tone to avoid the intimidating formal instructional tone of some handbooks. Before long, these principles became the foundation of Harris's Prentice Hall Reference Guide, now its 7th edition. With new material and emphasis on writing research papers, visual argument, multimedia, document design, and a visual guide to documentation, PHRG 7e continues to help students find the information they need.
With easy to find information, clarity of instruction, and a student-friendly language and tone, PHRG 7e continues to help students effectively use and understand their handbook.
“I would say ease of use for students is the greatest strength. I've not had any students tell me they didn't like the book. Every semester I have students who tell me they really like it and will keep it for future classes because they found it to be so helpful and easy to understand.”
—Judy Hatcher, University of Houston—Clear Lake
“The seventh edition has everything you and your students need in freshman composition.”
—Anne Kuhta, Northern Virginia Community College
“...[A] great book for freshman composition classes. There are plenty of examples for all the grammar mistakes students make. In addition there are examples to cover all the rhetorical strategies as well as help in doing MLA documentation.”
—Martha Bachman, Camden County College
“Well-organized, user-friendly, and clear.”
—Richard Turner, Ozarks Technical Community College
“The Prentice Hall Reference Guide offers every teacher a "one-book, one resource" strategy for providing the means for near total success in an English class, regardless of prior English experience from grade school to college.”
—Allen Swords, Clemson University
