Writing Research Papers Across the Curriculum [Plastic Comb]

Susan M. Hubbuch (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0155026550 | ISBN-13: 978-0155026551 | Publication Date: October 13, 1995 | Edition: 4

Designed as a "self-contained guide," this clear and efficient handbook takes students through the steps and strategies of writing research papers in many disciplines. It introduces two documentation styles for the humanities and two for the social and natural sciences, giving instructors tremendous flexibility in adapting the guide to discipline-specific assignments. Set apart by its appreciation of the experiences of real people undertaking research, this substantially revised fourth edition also focuses on the critical thinking processes essential to research and writing. The new edition is written in a personal, sensible first-person voice that speaks directly to students.

This review is from: Cengage Advantage Books: Writing Research Papers Across the Curriculum (with InfoTrac) (Advantage (Thomson)) (Spiral-bound)

The book is okay and gives you some tips for composing a term paper; however, if you already have the proper style guide, there is no reason to buy this book.

Now if it's available on reserve in your school library, it is not a waste of time to read. But, I would not buy it again.
