Tutoring Writing : A Practical Guide for Conferences

Summary: Good, but...
Review: Tutoring Writing by Donald A. McAndrew & Thomas Reigstad is a composite of methods in tutoring students in writing.

At first, the book was good. It summarized my college education (my degree is in English and Education). It's always good to read about methods.

As I read on, it read like a college term paper from a B plus student. It was concise, reviewed well, but... (the "but" kept showing up in my mind when I read it).

Finally, the marker of bad writing came to pass. "Feminism."

The scar of leftist agenda took over the book with an entire cry of how women (sepcifically "feminism") teaches us the best way to tutor teaching.

Feminism is a political dance and has nothing to do with good writing. It would be the same as saying "Conservatives teach good writing methods because, by nature, they..." which would be just as false.

Too bad the education world can't teach reality and just rely on leftist agenda to produce. It could have been a good book.
