As the authors prepared for the new edition, instructors requested even more support for the increasing number of developing writers and co-req students in their courses, so there’s now advice on everything from parts of the essay and peer review to reflection and habits of mind.
Please note that both versions are the same price and cover the same content. The only difference is the inclusion of exercises at the end of that version. Explore what’s new and what’s returning in the table of contents below.
