Prentice Hall Reference Guide for Professional Writing

This handbook is designed to help students find quick answers to their questions about the writing required in their workplace and in the real world. Muriel Harris was the director of the Purdue Writing Center where she worked elbow-to-elbow with students and for over twenty-five years. As she worked with students, she realized that they asked the same questions over and over. Based on her experience with thousands of students in the writing center, Muriel Harris authored this spiral-bound, tabbed and brief handbook. Her unique feature, "Compare and Correct," and "Question and Correct," allows students to find what they need to help themselves with their writing, without needing to know the terms of grammar. Muriel Harris' Prentice Hall Reference Guide is the easiest handbook for students and instructors to use.

 

The inclusion of career-specific writing advice and examples are wonderful. It meets the needs of career-minded students, both in terms of educating them in the realm of academic writing and writing specifically for their chosen career-path.
