Writing Matters: A Handbook for Writing and Research Review

Writing Matters: A Handbook for Writing and Research Overview

Writing Matters unites research, reasoning, documentation, grammar and style in a cohesive whole, helping students see the conventions of writing as a network of responsibilities writers have...

...to other writers. Writing Matters clarifies the responsibility writers have to one another--whether they are collaborating in an online peer review or drawing on digital and print sources in a research project--to treat information fairly and accurately and to craft writing that is fresh and original--their own!

...to the audience. Writing Matters stresses the importance of using conventions appropriate to the audience, to write clearly, and to provide readers with the information and interpretation they need to make sense of a topic.

...to the topic. Writing Matters emphasizes the writer's responsibility to explore a topic thoroughly and creatively, to assess sources carefully, and to provide reliable information at a depth that does the topic justice.

...to themselves. Writing Matters encourages writers to take their writing seriously and to approach writing tasks as an opportunity to learn about a topic and to expand their scope as writers. Students are more likely to learn about a topic and to expand their scope as writers. Students are more likely to write well when they think of themselves as writers rather than as error-makers. By explaining rules in the context of responsibility, Writing Matters addresses composition students respectfully as mature and capable fellow participants in the research and writing process.

WARNING NOT the Real Text Book - Narim-married-Weir - Colorado Springs, CO
Warning this is not the Real text book required for English at Diablo Valley College and others schools.
The item sold here is a brochure with highlights from the real text book. It's a Marketing Brochure sent to Professors asking them to use the REAL text book in their classes.
Don't buy this Brochure!

The Return policy of HPB-Dallas sucks too. "If you pay to ship the Brochure back to them, they say they will credit your purchase price, less the shipping to you costs." So you get to pay to ship the brochure two ways.
