 |  Reasoning and Writing Well: A Rhetoric, Research Guide, Reader, and Handbook, 3/e Betty Mattix Dietsch,
Marion Technical College
Overview| Reasoning and Writing Well, third edition, offers four comprehensive
books in one. The rhetoric provides extensive help for both beginning and
advanced writers, not only in reasoning and writing but also in studying
for exams, making oral presentations, and searching for employment.
The research guide provides five chapters to aid in both primary and
secondary research. A chapter explaining observation, surveys, and
interviewing also shows a student example of a research report. Four
chapters show how to plan a research project, use the library, search the
Internet, and write a research paper. Included is a new student paper on
workers' compensation.
The reader contains thirty-six engaging essays, four superior short
stories, and six creation narratives--all selected to stimulate discussion
and writing. The concise handbook provides rules and examples to help
students with common problems in punctuation, grammar, usage, and spelling.
A full chapter, "Styling Sentences," covers verbs, clauses, parallelism,
and sentence structure. |
