Reading is part and parcel of academic writing, and knowing which sources to include in assignments and go about this process can be challenging. That's where this handy guide comes in. With over twenty years' experience in the field, Jeanne Godfrey is no stranger to essay writing. Taking students step-by-step through the process, from choosing their sources to checking their work, she helps students to develop the skills and confidence they need to use their reading effectively in their essays. Concise and practical, it breaks down the 'why' and 'how' of using reading in academic writing and contains valuable guidance on paraphrasing, comparing the views of different authors and commenting on sources. This book is ideal for students of all disciplines, and can be used by college students, undergraduates and postgraduates. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

There are some really useful grammar and style tips....like don't use technical words unless necessary. (Though this seems to go against the marking criteria that was being used in HSC English...which was rewarding students for using big words ...even at the cost of intelligibility). And some useful information about going over the finished work...printing it out and reading it aloud to pick up errors or poor phrasing.
And she does include the obvious stuff...like inserting quotes correctly and citing the reference correctly ...and even making an annotated reference list as one is doing the basic research.
Quite a useful book for a student. 4.5 stars. ( )
