Gamification in the RhetComp Curriculum

As one expects of scholars working in the composition space, the level of writing is uniformly strong, often engaging, and not infrequently superb. The regular inclusion of autobiographical elements (especially in Chris McGunnigle's introduction) gives the book the kind of personal and collegial tone that its audience (composition pedagogues) appreciate.

The introduction does its job very well, motivating and describing gamified composition pedagogy, surveying the major themes in the relevant scholarship, and situating the contributions that follow.

It is a helpful contribution to an important area of composition pedagogy.
