Programs of study for college students always include an "English" course in one form or another, whether it be the traditional reading and writing course or one of the more recently popular "Communication" programs, which attempt to develop unified skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Educators are nearly unanimous in their conviction that such skills are inadequately developed in a majority of students, and a wide variety of approaches has been developed to remedy these shortcomings. 
This book approaches the problem from the direction of subject-matter. It presents a series of fourteen projects for study, each project including essays expressing a variety of opinions on a debatable issue, and asks the student to read them, consider their major points of difference, and come to some conclusions of his own. Obviously, he cannot agree with opposite points of view, if he comprehends or reasons at all. He must develop his reading skills, learn to see clearly what each author says, and organize his own reactions to what he has read.

This brief, flexible guide features dictionary-style entries on the key terms and concepts associated with academic and research-based writing, including models and exercises in each entry. Offering instructors enormous flexibility, the alphabetically-organized entries in this text can be introduced in any order to present discussions of writing college papers--from developing a thesis statement to citing sources.

Entries from different disciplines show the development of specialized knowledge and specific rhetorical practices. A guide to academic culture as well as a writing guide, the text helps students develop skills such as how to interpret a syllabus or analyze an assignment.

This book is in good condition, just the front cover is a bit worn, and the inside front and back covers have marks on them. The actual pages inside are fine

Seriously, this book is amazing. I’ve used it in many college writing courses I’ve taught and tons of students tell me how helpful it is and how empowering and fluid it makes their writing. 

This copy is unused and in perfect condition. No marks or signs of wear: all it has is the college name stamped on the outside, as shown in the pic.
