Roy K. Humble is the kind of writing teacher who understands the struggle of learning how to write arguments like a college student and doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. His lessons here are profound, but in the sense that they are delivered by someone who wants you to feel included in the conversation about what good college writing should be. He writes to students in a language they can understand without becoming English majors, and with just enough humor to keep them reading. He writes for faculty, moving step-by-step through the unadorned guiding principles of effective formal writing so that faculty have a solid framework on which to build their classes. Perhaps most importantly, Humble understands that the price of a book matters to students, so his books are affordable. From every perspective, Humble gets it.
The Humble Argument has students covered on these important topics:
- Understanding argument as an idea
- Grasping the stages of the writing process
- Organizing an argument around rhetorical principles
- Thinking for yourself as a college student
- Crafting a careful and clear thesis
- Gathering and synthesizing evidence to support a thesis
- Guiding readers through a thoughtful persuasive essay
