Book Description

0472088564 978-0472088560 March 25, 2004 Second Edition
The second edition of this successful guide to writing for graduate-and undergraduate-students has been modified to include updates and replacements of older data sets; an increased range of disciplines with tasks such as nursing, marketing, and art history; discussions of discourse analysis; a broader discussion of e-mail use that includes current e-mail practices.

Like its predecessor, this edition of Academic Writing for Graduate Students
" explains understanding the intended audience, the purpose of the paper, and academic genres.
" includes the use of task-based methodology, analytic group discussion, and genre consciousness-raising.
" shows how to write summaries and critiques.
" features "language focus" sections that address linguistic elements as they affect the wider rhetorical objectives.
" helps students position themselves as junior scholars in their academic communities.

The Commentary has also been revised and is available.

This review is from: Academic Writing for Graduate Students, Second Edition: Essential Tasks and Skills (Michigan Series in English for Academic & Professional Purposes) (Paperback)
This book is a great tool for both experienced and novice writers in college matters. It introduces basic information about sentence structure, style, tone and other features you need to consider when writing a scholar papers. It also provides lots of practice to reinforce the concepts introduced and put them into practice.

This review is from: Academic Writing for Graduate Students, Second Edition: Essential Tasks and Skills (Michigan Series in English for Academic & Professional Purposes) (Paperback)
I love this book because it has given me the basic writing skills I need to write a research paper. I am about to start my master's degree in the U.S.A. and this book has been very helpful. This book is easy to read and has lots of exercises.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, February 20, 2011

This review is from: Academic Writing for Graduate Students, Second Edition: Essential Tasks and Skills (Michigan Series in English for Academic & Professional Purposes) (Paperback)
A very helpful book.
-1 star only because the examples are sort of old and short, and thus there is a gap from my real purpose. But still, it is a good book since the basic ideas it conveys are always helpful, especially for international stduents.
