This review is from: Write For College: A Student Handbook (Paperback)

Every college student should have a copy of "Write For College." It contains information on so many things, for instance, the writing process, revising, proofreading, sentence structure, grammer, writing a college essay, resumes, reports, analytical writing, literary analysis, MLA and APA documentation style, note taking, test taking, building a vocabulary, speech giving, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, weights and measures, the periodic table of the elements, world maps, and the U.S. Constitution. There is even a section that has tips on how to deal with test anxiety! It is well worth EVERY penny. This is an indispensable resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Gets Better Every Time!, January 19, 2001

This review is from: Write For College: A Student Handbook (Paperback)

I have used this book for a high school composition class for the last 3 years. Every time I read through it, I learn something new! This is definitely one to read with a highliter in hand. My students have found this book helpful, and many have purchased their own copy for college use. My best results have been with the advanced level students, although all writing levels have benefitted from it. Read and re-read it again. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, September 12, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Writers Inc.: Write for College: Student Handbook, Grades 11-12 (Hardcover)

Write for College is a very informative student handbook. This guide provides a wide array of information ranging from writing and grammer to computer terms and learning skills. It gives the reader a great sum of knowledge that will help them succeed in college. This information-packed book even has a small almanac in it.

Adjusting to the book's format does take a little time. The book does not have page numbers; instead, it has topic numbers. Sometimes, there may be five topics on a page, and other time there may be only one. But none the less, this is an exceptional guide that every college-bound high school student should get.
