After looking through the content of The Thomson Handbook I found a lot of interesting information and it looks like there is a lot of good stuff to look forward to learning in this course. Actually this book looks like it could have came in handy a couple of years ago right when I started college. It has a lot of useful information like how to site MLA and APA. It also has interesting content on revising, editing and proofreading which is something that I think a lot of people have problems doing especially with their own work.
