Transfer is one of the most difficult things for students to grasp—that writing is not one size fits all, and that audience and purpose dictate much in language choices, arrangement, research and citation. Writing in Transit gives students something they lack, which is knowledge of how to transfer their writing abilities in one discipline to that of another.
The two things about Writing in Transit that I am constantly aware of are the focus on explaining how writing is utilized in various disciplines—something that most composition books consistently neglect—and the sophistication of the writing. This is a book that embraces academic language and reads like a college-level text.
We liked the writing as process and writing transfer focuses, as well as the Write Now activities.
