Product Features
- Coverage of summary, paraphrase, and quotation: The text provides best-of-class coverage of summary, paraphrase, quotation--foundational skills for working with sources in an academic setting. Students get hands-on, clearly illustrated advice for developing these skills and weaving references to sources into their writing (Ch. 9).
- Coverage of synthesis: No other handbook illustrates the process of synthesis, the skill students must master in order to write source-based papers in college. The chapter begins with an assignment, shows excerpts of 5 sources gathered in response to the assignment, shows how one synthesizes by finding common topics, and presents a complete source-based research paper (on "Disneyfication") demonstrating the goal of synthesis (Ch. 13).
- Writing in the Disciplines (Part VI): Four chapters on writing and reading in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, and Business introduce students to the unique focus and interests of these areas. No other handbook offers such a complete introduction to the different types of thinking and modes of inquiry students will encounter as they move from discipline to discipline.
- Library of Academic Writing (Part VII): These chapters introduce students to seven core types of assignments they will encounter as academic writers: summary, explanation, argument, analysis, critique, essay exam, and Web pages. Each chapter reviews essentials of the type, provides "Guidelines for Writing," and offers two source-based papers.
- Avoiding plagiarism: Chapter 10 offers complete coverage of avoiding plagiarism. The discussion reviews reasons why student writers plagiarize and suggests concrete, productive actions that can change behaviors leading to plagiarism.
- Evaluating print sources, Web sites, and images: Chapters 7 and 8 provide thorough coverage of how to read and evaluate text and images found both in print sources and on the Web. Students learn specific skills for evaluation: what to look for in evaluating a source, what questions to ask, how to determine if a source is reliable.
