Description
The "Coursebook" offers practice exercises for the topics covered, tailored to the field of speech-language pathology. Most left-hand pages show specific examples of general, scientific, or professional writing and the corresponding right-hand pages allow the student to practice writing. Students who memorize the rules of grammar will not write well unless they practice. The "Coursebook" provides this practice alongside abundant examples of correct writing, based on the most recent edition of the "Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association".The "Coursebook" is ideal for dedicated courses on scientific and professional writing and can also be used in courses on assessment and diagnosis or research methods and introduction to graduate studies.Changes and additions to the fifth edition include: incorporates APA changes to reference citations and preparation of the reference list; electronic preparation of manuscripts, revision in light of copyeditor's comments, and response to copyeditor's queries are in line with current publishing industry standards; the topic of electronic submission of convention and conference proposals is updated; new reference examples of electronic sources of information; the professional writing section reflects current clinical terminology in the field of speech-language pathology.
