I've been asked to substitute for college professor who is taking medical
leave. The course is a graduate-level introduction to Technical
Communication. From what I can tell, the students entering this program have
never written the types of papers that are required at the graduate level.

Can anyone recommend a good textbook that teaches academic rhetoric for
graduate students?

I have just encountered one which seems to be excellent, and I am
thinking of adopting it next year. It is "Rhetorical grammar:
Grammatical choices, rhetorical effects," fourth edition, Longman
Publishers. Author Martha Kolln.

I'd be interested to hear of other suggestions you receive.

Daniel,
Is the goal of the graduate course to teach students how to prepare
technical documents for the workplace? Or is the course meant to teach
students how to write scholarly papers for publication? These are very
different aims and therefore very different texts are required. Could
you clarify?
