It broaches academic writing comprehensively yet practically, honestly, and with a minimum of jargon and highfalutin prose."--Tammy Trucks-Bordeaux, Peru State College "Academic Writing is fabulous and deeply overdue. I love the emphasis on student research. Students can see for themselves why the things that teachers ask for are important."--Heather Pristash, Western Wyoming Community College
