What Academics Are Saying About

Transitioning Your Writing

 

Dennis Rovere has written an indispensable book for students transitioning from high school to university and college. There’s often a disconnect between where professors expect students to be and their actual starting point in first-year courses. Rovere addresses this gap by focusing on what truly matters, with clarity and concision. He avoids overwhelming students with technical jargon, offering instead a hands-on approach with checklists, analytical prompts, and examples. Rovere engages students in a conversation about common areas of struggle—areas professors expect them to know but which they haven’t been taught. I will be using it to teach my first-year rhetoric and composition courses. I highly recommend Transitioning Your Writing from High School to Academia.

Dennis Rovere’s book provides a succinct and accessible overview of how to transition one’s writing from a high school to post-secondary level. With specific details and anecdotes (and some humorous jokes along the way), I recommend this book to anyone who struggles with putting words on paper or seeks to improve their writing.

Final Edit provides students with many of the most important editing and proofreading tasks that professors will be on the lookout for. Your tips on group writing projects and presenting presentations are valuable resources as they are often not made explicit in classroom situations.

This book is exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. The structure of the chapters/parts aid in a compelling organization of the story or information. The pacing is even throughout and matches the tone/genre of the book.
