English 3200 With Writing Applications : A Programmed Course in Grammar and Usage

Rating:
Summary: great book, but has limitations
Review: A bastion of decency for those who are weary of the reckless useage of the English language which pervades every aspect of American life. In addition to serving as a learning tool for the uninitiated, this text is a resource companion for the seasoned communicator.

Review: A fun way of learning grammar. Immediate reinforcement of general principles breeds confidence. Recieved an "A" grade in college grammar(pre-English 101) mainly because of this book. Grammar that will stay with you and last throughout your life. Was able to do most of the book while commuting on the bus to and from school.

Summary: Our Native Tongue Preserved!
Review: As a journalism student many moons ago, English 3200 saved me from the fate of sixty percent of my peers. Back then, the majority of prospective journalism majors washed out of the College of Communication at my university. The reason? Any paper submitted for a grade with a spelling error, incorrect grammar, punctuation error, or improper formatting earned an automatic "C" with half letter grade deductions for subsequent errors. This book beefed up my English language skills in a hurry and I was able to graduate from the program cum laude. Today, our language has been deconstructed by a pervasive popular culture and educational apathy in public schools as students are �dumbed down� to the lowest common denominator. English 3200 fights back with a practical vengeance leaving its readers more articulate and fluent in our native tongue. As an adjunct college instructor, I am always distressed, but hardly surprised, to find many foreign-born students more fluent in English than native-born speakers and writers. This book, once completed from cover to cover, provides the proper guidance, as much as most of us will ever require, for expressing ourselves using our native tongue in correct and impressive form.

Summary: Programmed Learning At Its Best
Review: From my college days, throughout my Naval career and even today I continue to use this wonderful book. The University of Kansas had an English Comprehensive Test that was required to be passed by all undergraduates prior to graduation. I failed this test on my first try. I simply had to pass the test the next time around. "English 2000" was recommended to me by one of my instructors. I passed the Comp Test and I have been using this book and later editions ever since. If you need any kind of help with English, this book is for you.

You WILL master english grammer with this book.

Summary: The Most Effective Grammar Book/English 3200
Review: In high school, I was placed in "dumb" English, but while in the U.S.Army, a friend gave me this book. I read it over and over and this, along with a small pocket dictionary, qualified me for honors English in college. Subsequently, I earned a Medical Degree from UCLA, and I am now a medical writer as well. I recommend English 32000 to all writers and students.
