 Rating: - Getting your written words correctI used this book 45 years ago in my senior year in high school. I still have it! I remember how much it helped prepare me for college and decided to get it for my grand daughter who is entering her senior year of high school. It is a great book and I just bet she will remember it when it comes time for her grand kids to go to college. If you really want to improve your writing skills, this is a great product you can use at home in your spare time. Rating: - wasted moneyover all the other books I've bought. This is by far the best method of learning grammar that I've found. I haven't completed it yet, and I won't for awhile, but I can tell that it's starting to sink in. It requires work and it won't be easy (for me), but compared to these other books(over 20) there's no comparison. I spend a lot of money on books that are useless for me until I find the ultimate. This is the ultimate. Highly recommended. Rating: - Programmed instruction wins again!I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn and acquire the skills that will enable a person to write clearly and effectively. The goal of the author is to impart knowledge that helps to identity the components of good sentence structure and how to express ideas clearly through techniques found in this book. Like any programmed instruction book, this one uses frames and follows the pattern of giving a little piece of information which requires a response from the reader. Response is reinforced immediately by turning to the next page and seeing if the response is correct or incorrect. There are about 40 frames for each lesson. What I like about this approach is that I can set a goal and reach it. At the end of each lesson I have learned something new; each lesson enables me to express more clearly what I want to say. Also, if I need to review a particular lesson or part of speech, I can look it up in the index, discover on what page it begins, and then work through that lesson again. (Sometimes a person may miss a significant definition which may not sink in until one goes through the lesson again.) Programmed instruction is a great way to learn, and English lends itself particularly well to this technology of teaching. Writing is a tool, and like any tool such as a keyboard, mouse, or calculator, one needs to learn how to use the tool before it benefits you or anyone else. Working through this book is similar to learning how to use a tool; the tool itself is "complete thoughts expressed through writing". English 3200 is a medium through which you can learn how to clearly express your thoughts so that others may easily understand your message. I highly recommend it to everyone. Rating: - A Must Have For The ForgottenHello Perspective Buyer I have found that this is a great book. I have been away from school quite some time and needed a refresher course on my Grammar. This book corrects you as you go, giving you the drive to continue on with yes i got it. I will use it to enhance my skills. Thanks Ron C Rating: - A great book for all that are interested in English GrammarI bought the 2200 series first with the answer book with test and I passed them all with flying colors. So I decided to go for the 2600 and passed that as well with flying colors. After that I decided to buy this book and continue, however, I did not do so well with the test as I would've liked. This is still a great book and I only wish that I could write the author a positive review on it; but I think he might be deceased by now. I truly recommend this book, but you must buy the tests with answer key. Don't cheat!!! Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display |
