2.0 out of 5 stars
Not great, but some use,
By Debby Lewis "BioWolf" (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Student Handbook for Writing in Biology: Copublished by Sinauer Associates, Inc. and W. H. Freeman (Paperback)
Not a great helping book for writing biology research papers. I prefer "A short guide to writing about biology," by Jan A. Pachnik. Much better examples and tips for ideal writing methods. This book by Knisely recommends writing structure with poor usage and voice. Doesn't promote ease of reading or how to organize your paper initially. Go with the Pachnik book and you'll write better papers. I also recommend visiting your writing center if your school has one. They can help.

This review is from: A Student Handbook for Writing in Biology (Paperback)
I have found that this book was very helpful in helping me fulfill the requirements that my professor expected. I found it very easy to read and understand. This book is a great tool to assist you in writing in a scientific format for biology or any science class.
