Table of Contents

  • Helps students understand the role and value of academic scholarship as both manageable and personally rewarding, while providing them with the skills needed for reading and responding to scholarly prose. The text encourages students to see reading and writing in college as a collaborative conversation in which they are invited to participate.

  • The writing and research guide in Part One gives students the core academic research skills they will need throughout college, including critical thinking and inquiry, reading and responding actively to texts, developing and refining research questions, navigating and managing current research databases, and using and documenting sources purposefully.
  • Writing projects in Part Two support students as they work purposely with key components of academic research writing.The five projects in the sequence guide students in steps for exploring issues, ideas, and questions through research. Examples of professional and scholarly writing, and complete students essays, illustrate approaches taken by expert and beginning researchers in many academic fields.
  • A casebook of professional and academic research articles introduces students to ways a current issue may be examined through multiple disciplinary perspectives, from physical and applied science to philosophy and performance art. Article authors reflections give students an unprecedented view into the recursive thinking and writing process behind academic prose.
  • A concise handbook concludes the text that introduces students to elements of argument, organization, design and formatting, organization, voice, style, mechanics and usage.
