For Instructors:The Instructor's Edition (ISBN 0-07-287136-9) consists of the student text complete with answers to all activities and tests, followed by an Instructor's Guide featuring teaching suggestions and a model syllabus. It also includes three new diagnostic/achievement tests: two 40-question tests (A and B), and, for added flexibility, a single 60-question test (C) derived from A and B. These tests, along with their scoring keys, are included in print form in the back of the book. The tests are also available via the College Writing Skills Online Learning Center (www.mhhe.com/langan). Instructors directing students to take the tests online can have students' scores and assessment e-mailed to them directly. (Students taking these tests will receive their final scores and an assessment, but not the correct answers to individual responses).
