CCII Course Text (Face-to-Face Sections):
Currently, the default syllabi and course schedules for CCII refer to either Good Reasons or Writing Arguments (see below); however, for Spring 2020, we are fully transitioning to an open educational resource (OER) text developed by the Rowan FYW Program. (Thank you to Jude Miller, Amanda Haruch, and Sam Kennedy for their incredible work on this OER book!) This book is FREE to students and designed to align with our curriculum better than any traditional/commercial text can. We will be updating the default syllabi and schedule to reflect the OER text chapters instead, but for now, please plan on using equivalent chapters from our book. See note below about text for CCII online sections.
