Editorial Reviews
Product Description
For undergraduate Composition I and II courses. From the first edition, The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers has focused on writing for a variety of purposes in a rhetorical situation. Although audience, context, and writing situation are important, a writer's purpose should be and has always been the focal point of the sequence of assignments. The Prentice Hall Guide begins with observing and remembering, which are personally important to the writer. It then turns to more reader-based, academic purposes, including critical reading, expository writing, and argumentative writing. Each chapter in this sequence is self-contained, with introductions, guidelines, professional and student models, writing process advice, research tips, revising guidelines, peer review questions, and postscript reflections on the assignment. This compact, efficient guide touches on all the critical aspects of college writing - both personal and academic - within rich, self-contained chapters - no more flipping back and forth between sections to find appropriate guidelines, models, and writing process information.

3 out of 5 starsAbout what you would expect, 2008-06-22
This was the required textbook for my technical writing class, and as you might it expect, it covered all the topics necessary, but there was nothing ground shaking about the book.

If you need serious help with your writing, this is not the book to turn too. If you are looking for a guide book that covers many common formats, the book isn't bad, but all the information is easier to find on the net.
