About this eBook

Academic Writing Now: A Brief Guide for Busy Students is a rhetoric designed to cover the basics of a college writing course in a concise, student-friendly format. Anything inessential to the business of college writing has been excluded. Each chapter concentrates on a crucial element of composing an academic essay and is capable of being read in a single sitting. The book is loaded with “timesaver tips,” ideas for making the most of the student’s time, along with occasional warnings to avoid common errors made by student writers. Each short chapter concludes with questions and suggestions designed to reinforce the chapter’s key elements and facilitate small-group interactions and trigger class discussion.

A compact selection of lively, topical readings provides thought-provoking examples for analysis and discussion.

Ratings and reviews

This is the only digital copy I could find. As someone with accessibility needs I find it very frustrating because there's no good audio options. I purchased this version because I grabbed a free book from this store and was able to download it no problem and load it into my preferred document reading app, ReadBit. It doesn't work with this book for some unfathomable reason! You essentially can't download a PDF of the book. And there's not 'built in' audio features.
