Review Quotes:

In a concise number of pages Rampolla thoroughly discusses the fundamental writing skills that undergrads need to know before embarking on writing history papers. What sets Rampolla's work apart is that her slim volume presents this material in a readable, engaging and entertaining way.
- Linda Thorne, Columbia College of Missouri



Rampolla's Pocket Guide is an accessible, well-organized book that demystifies the field of history and how students can develop their historical research, writing, and thinking skills. The book is invaluable for first year students looking to succeed at history in university
- Rhonda Hinther, Brandon University



This is a short book but it provides an excellent and fairly comprehensive overview of how to be a successful history student. The writing is lively, the examples are on point, and the information is up to date. My students prefer it over others because of its length and cost. It's small but it packs a big punch!
- Jeffrey Hardy, Brigham Young University
