Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Highly regarded and used by countless students, this effective rhetoric/handbook is ideal for writing courses that focus on the essay. The sixth edition features Langan's renowned clear writing style and a wide range of writing assignments and activities that reinforce the four essentials of good writing: unity, support, coherence, and sentence skills. College Writing Skills comes packaged with a free student CD-ROM, a free registration card for access to the Online Learning Center, and a free user's guide to help students gain the maximum benefit from the text and electronic materials.

"I long ago lost count of the number of instructors who have told me that the four bases really work. When you explain the four bases to students and make the bases really clear with a lot of activities, students get it." - John Langan.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible!, September 1, 2008
I never recieved my item! I am still waiting on the refund so I can re-order it. I need this book for school and a whole course has passed without me using it. As a result points have been shaved off my grade. This is causing me sooooo much grief. I only gave it a star because Amazon was courteous and prompt with me.
