"I am sure other readers will have the same reaction I had: 'My
campus needs documents like this!'"
--Shanti Bruce, Nova Southeastern University "A comprehensive,
well-thought-out study that provides rich pictures of individual
students along with practical, concrete suggestions for WPAs."
--Todd Ruecker, University of New Mexico "Graduate students and
scholars with research interests focusing on the intersection
between first-year composition and second-language writing
scholarship will find that this book joins conversations already
begun in other publications but also contributes something new--a
set of practical suggestions for making the placement process an
effective one primarily through encouraging student agency."
--Journal of Second Language Writing
"Writing teachers, FYC directors, writing program administrators,
and professors alike in a variety of educational contexts and
disciplines will benefit from having read this well-crafted,
empirically informed book. . . .There will likely be substantial
changes in program evaluation and place in coming years as a result
of the nuanced findings presented in Saenkhum's work."
--WPA: Writing Program Administration"An invaluable resource for
all writing program administrators, educators, and advisors."
--Assessing Writing"Those looking to change their writing program's
placement process, or those who find themselves in situations like
the one created by California State University's decisions to
change their placement procedures, can look to Decisions, Agency,
Advising. . . . This book is a timely addition to conversations
about writing placement for multilingual learners in US higher
education"
--The Journal of Writing Assessment
