A Writer's Reference

My tutors all use A Writer's Reference as they work with students in all disciplines. It is the only handbook I feel confident about, and it's the one we recommend and refer to all the time.' - Phyllis Benay, Director, Center for Writing, Keene State College

'Why do I still require a handbook? I like everyone having the same materials to work with―a common language for all students to use.' - Maria Ramos, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College

'The common handbook, A Writer's Reference, is useful as a campus-wide tool. The handbook helps us have conversations about argument, premises, evidence, and authority not only with our students but also with our colleagues.' - Shevaun Donelli O'Connell, Buffalo State College

'I appreciate the instructor support and guidance.' - Sundi Rose-Holt, Columbus State University

'I like that I have been able to customize the book with my own course materials.' - Vicki Hendricks, Broward College

'The integrated media will reinforce the instruction I do in the classroom, engage my students outside of the classroom, and provide additional help with whatever they are having trouble with.' - Christian Horlick, Virginia Commonwealth University

For more than 25 years, this bestselling handbook has allowed students to build confidence and take ownership of their college writing experience. With practical advice and plenty of student models, a tabbed section provides advice for writing college papers in nine disciplines. Each discipline section features information on audience expectations in that area of study, the types of questions asked, the types of documents produced, the kinds of evidence used, appropriate language conventions, and appropriate citation styles. 
This is an ideal text for Writing courses, within biology, business, criminal justice/criminology, education, engineering, history, music, nursing and psychology departments.
A Writer’s Reference is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See ‘Instructor Resources’ and ‘Student Resources’ for further information.
