"They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing with Readings 2nd Edition

bought this book for class. book came in good condition. great buy.

i enrolled into a college refresher English course and the instructor used this book to highlight and drive home better writing .. so i decided to buy the book and use it for the rest of my college experience... it has paid off for me in so many ways.... in the back there is a section where you can have quick access to all the helpful suggestions that they say i say provides..highly recommend.. especially if like me you just need a pretty way to spit out what you want to say..

They Say / I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing with Readings’ served as a decent tool in my college writing class. It provided valuable insights into the dynamics of academic writing, making it easier to understand and apply the concepts. While it may not be extraordinary, it is certainly effective and useful for students aiming to improve their writing skills.

It was exactly as stated and arrived on time. I needed it for my English class and the school bookstore didn't have anymore. They were going to have to order and I was going to have to go back to the college the next day. And being that this is an online course, was inconvenient. Checked on Amazon, it was a third of the price and I didn't have to leave my house. I will start checking Amazon for my textbooks in the future. Thanks Amazon Prime....your the best!!!!!

The book itself is decent. It gets the general rules of how to write a good paper down. It's not dry, but it's not engaging either. If you need to learn the rules quick, it might be worth it, but if you're looking for something to keep as reference, this is not that book.There were quite a few errors with the pages, but customer service was very nice about the situation. The whole first chapter was gone and some of the chapters have double the pages, as in the pages 98-104 would be printed twice. I did contact customer service and they did what they could to help, which I appreciate.

It is honestly the best academic writing book I have ever read, and if I had known about it, I would have read it even if it wasn't required for the class.Written in a conversational manner so it is easy to read and doesn't feel like a textbook. The best thing about the book is that it tells you everything that well written essays contain(or any type of writing) that no one or professor explicitly talks about. It tells everything up front without you trying to constantly dig for the point. 5/5

I bought this a few years ago for a lower level undergrad English class and amongst the mountain of overpriced, long forgotten text books, I find myself referring to this one time and time again for nearly all of my English classes.This book is a great tool for English majors, casual readers/writers or anyone who is looking to improve their written rhetoric skills.

Paid for a new book, but received a used book.
