Synopses & Reviews
With comprehensive coverage of reading and study skills, step-by-step strategies for writing and research, and a unique visual approach to learning, Successful College Writing provides in-depth instruction on the skills other composition texts assume students already possess. The third edition provides even more help in the areas where students need it most and a stronger emphasis on assessment and self-evaluation.
