The sixth edition of The Student Writer offers new material on argumentation, on applying the patterns of organization, on writing about literature, on visual argument, on research writing, and on ethics in writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text for undergraduate composition courses, December 20, 2007

By	Elizabeth E. Knussman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first used an earlier edition of this when I "inherited" a course. Although I have looked at other books for the course, this is the one I always come back to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Essay writing., January 29, 2009

By	notAyesperson "Always in search of good books" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Student Writer: Editor and Critic (Paperback)

I do not like writing or any of my English classes. But thanks to this book, I can now write winning essays. It shows you step by step how to organize writing ideas and put them together in a readable fashion. Keys for Writers is also a good supplement with this book.
