This compact resource is intended to embed strong writing skills in students and prepare them for their academic and professional pursuits. The authors approach writing as a series of skills to be applied at each stage of the writing process: generating ideas, developing and planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Sample writing topics, examples, formats, and sample papers reflect the discipline, providing a complement to classroom instruction and discussion.
