内容説明

Writing Papers in College provides clear, concise guidance on a comprehensive range of composition topics-writing, research, and grammar-in a portable size and at a low price. Writing Papers in College guides students through all stages of the writing process-while also offering essential organizational strategies-using brief instruction that delivers just enough detail to help students be effective writers. Rather than weigh students down with an overly complicated presentation or belabored concepts, Writing Papers keeps advice short and sweet so that students spend less time reading about writing and more time focusing on their own work.
