Not so impressed
I purchased this text for a summer class and while there are some sections which are helpful (learning about Writer's Workshop for example), most of the text felt drawn out. I was also reading Notebook Know How by Aimee Buckner at the time. Comparing the texts, I would say Buckner's text lays out the teaching tools for writing more clearly than Tompkins. I do plan to hold on to this text because it does break down the genres of writing well.
