Keywords:
Negating the notion that there is no such thing as “bad” writing, this book guides first-year students through the dos and don’ts of composition, from such basic questions as “Can I use ‘I’ in a college essay?” to more advanced points about structure and style. Emphasizing the importance of writing in all majors, the author encourages students to find their own voice and to express themselves without jargon or “academese.” Tips are provided on concision, supporting claims, marshaling arguments, researching topics, documenting sources, and revision.
