Student Friendly Text This text gives students practical information about writing in a step-by-step guide. Students will find the elements of the text accessible, clear, and relevant to their needs and interests. One of the most brilliant aspects of the text is the way it involves the students with their own essays--the text explains some element of writing, such as transitions, for example, and then allows students to check their understanding of transitions by answering questions about them using their own essay for content. Bravo to this author for her skillful explanations and student oriented approach to the basic writing text.
Simple, concise helpfulness in essay writing In her book, "The College Guide to Essay Writing',Jill Rossiter begins by stating, "The ability to communicate effectively in writing is a vital skill." How very true. Her book is masterful in solving the mysteries of lucent writing in a simple organized manner. Everything she recommends is worthwhile considering before putting pen to paper. "Know Your Audience" is an admonition that is important in writing as well as in speaking. She breaks down this topic, as she does the other topics, in an easy, understandable way. I wish I had this concise book when I was attempting to write when in college. It would have made writing a far richer and certainly a more pleasant experience. I strongly recommend this book.
