"Are you ready to improve your writing skills? Most college students will be tasked with writing a term paper, assessment, or thesis sometime during their academic career, even when their chosen concentration isn't English or Literature. While there are countless textbooks dedicated to the subject, there are virtually no books dedicated to providing practical, down-to-earth advice that will allow the college student to write concisely, coherently, and successfully. Essential Writing Skills for College & Beyond is a refreshing take on college writing instruction for students in any major." -- Publisher's description
