Description and Table of Contents
Description
For courses in Political Science, Research Methods, Policy Research Methods, American Government, and Comparative Government.
This comprehensive, practical writer's manual-created specifically for political science students-is designed to help students accomplish two goals: 1) improve their writing skills and strategies and 2) learn political science at the same time. It frees instructors from having to teach students how to write the papers most often assigned in political science classes. The manual considers the different types of papers common to political science classes at all levels, at the introductory level, and at the advanced level-exploring the purposes and characteristics of each paper, the steps for writing a successful paper, and typical formats.
