Product Description
From the Preface: "Almost every English boy can be taught to write clearly, so far at least as clearness depends upon the arrangement of words. Force, elegance, and variety of style are more difficult to teach, and far more difficult to learn; but clear writing can be reduced to rules. To teach the art of writing clearly is the main object of these Rules and Exercises."Includes writing rules on brevity, clearness and force, word order, participles, prepositions, exceptions to rules, redundancy, proper use of adverbs and more. ...

Product Description
Skills for College Writers focuses on how to effectively draft and revise expository essays and research papers/reports. It is a practicum with four distinct strengths, i.e., its stress on the ideal essay forms available, on detailed guidelines including worksheets and checklists, on students' examples for exercise purposes, and on training students in critical thinking skills so that they may have strong ideas for the content of their essays. The book is user-friendly, and student writers will find that any chapter they choose to study will enable them to successfully write the essay that specific chapter discusses. In addition, the essays chosen for critical reading are all theme-related, and the ideas from them can broaden students' horizons and be instrumental in their settling on politically meaningful and socially significant topics. ...

"The design of haystacks: conventions, climates and aesthetics"; "Theories on animal extinction during the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary period"; "How noises affect the body." If none of these term-paper suggestions appeal,never fear, you've got 9997 more choices in the revised and updated fifthedition of 10,000 Ideas for Term Papers, Projects, Reports, andSpeeches. Appropriate for both high school and college-levelassignments, the suggested topics cover 130 subject areas (from advertisingto weather), and include a section entitled "Contemporary Issues" withtopics such as "Homosexual clergy"; "Should sex education be taught inpublic schools?" and "Is suicide ever justified?" Entries that require alarge public or college library for sufficient research are noted, as arethose mandating special expertise or supporting evidence (i.e., don't pickone of these if your paper is due tomorrow morning). The book also offers apage of compare-and-contrast ideas (personality vs. character, atheismvs. agnosticism, and sex vs. love, to name a few) that will at the leastmake for enlivened party conversation. One thing is for certain--with thisfecund reference you'll never again be able to say, "I can't think of anything to write about." --Brangien Davis ... Read more

Useful Guidelines
This book is full of many useful ideas to stimulate additional research and thought.As a professional writer, I use the book frequently to generate ideas for columns, articles, and reports.

Most of the ideas listed in the book are somewhat broad and need refining, but that's the point.This book will provide clear, easy to understand categories that help you determine specific areas of interest.And as any writer knows, finding the topic is often the hardest part of the process.

Useless
As a teacher of writing, all I can say is that this book perpetuates the worst and most harmful ideas about researched writing, ideas that lead to boring and lifeless papers that cause headache and disgust on both students' and teachers' part.

A Must Need for High School Students
This book is very good in helping students get their ideas together and putting them down.As a high school student I use this book frequently to make speeches for clubs and other things. ... Read more

Product Description
High school and college students will find Write On! a valuable grammar reference, as well as a solid, sensible style manual to guide them in writing essays and term papers. The book opens with advice on how to avoid unnecessary use of that all-too-common cause of limp sentencesÂ--the passive voice. The following chapter cautions on misuse of pronouns and irregular verbs, and shows how to use them properly. Chapters that follow clarify correct use of parts of speech as they apply to every segment of written prose, from the briefest phrase to a full-length book. Later chapters deal with punctuation and frequently misused words, and advise on selecting topics to write about. A final chapter discusses ways to use figurative language -- similes, metaphors, symbolism, and other devices that transform mundane prose into pleasurable reading. Although written primarily for senior high school and beginning college students, Write On! also makes a fine desk companion for anybody who writes, including professionals. The book includes exercises, a writing test, and a vocabulary-builder appendix. ... Read more

It is your decision on what this says about the book, but the webpage researchpapers.net reports that this book contains many of the papers they have written.I found this out while doing research for work on how easy it is for students to get access to these paper mills that will sell students papers.What is the real quality of these papers if many have not even been written by the students, but by professionals who have made money off of writing it?These papers may be good, but this only encourages students to continue buying these papers rather than writing their own.
