I purchased this book to help me with a new editing job. I took the plastic wrap off of it and started reading. Nowhere on the cover does it say you need the instructor's manual for the answers. It says it in the beginning of the book.I contacted the publiher to see if where i could purchase the instructors manual and they insisted it was only available to schools. The book is totally useless to me since i need a way to check my answers and brush up on my skills.I returned the book and will try not to purchase from this publisher in the future. I have since purchased a workbook with an answer key.
Proofreading and editing marks are taught through a lot of examples and exercise problems. To do all the exercises and application pages took me about 1 hour or less for each chapter. Easy to get through and a great resource for college.
Good learning tool to evaluate your proofreading and editing skills if you get a NEW book with the CD ... great layout in the book. THE BOOK is clearly well-written and has a good design, and layout that is easy to follow! It can provide you with some great hands-on experience! But I have never seen the CD (i.e., I can't evaluate that part). Just keep in mind, that there's a somewhat newer version on that was published in 2010. I was able to find a 2011 teacher's edition elsewhere, so there are newer versions.
This book is GREAT!! It has helped me a lot with my basic grammar skills. It explains a lot of basic grammar rules that I didn't even know myself. IT has helped me write better essays for my teachers.
This is a great book to have, not just for class, but for anyone needing to upgrade their grammar and reading skills. It is an excellent workbook!!!
I used this text book for my Business Communication class last semester. It was very helpful. My favorite part was that there was a cheat sheet of proofreading symbols on the front cover.
I had an awful experience renting this book. Half the pages were ruined with writing while others were missing. It did not even come with the CD. I was disappointed.
Easy to read and comprehend. I learned a lot from this textbook. I would like to have the newest edition for my collection. I know have a full understanding of sentence structuring and word meaning.
