Synopsis

The Must-Have Workbook for Improving Students' Writing Skills "Our faculty have recognized the less than stellar writing skills of our students for a long time, but because of Write & Wrong we were able to develop a solid plan for addressing it. The book is perfect for our orientation class for incoming freshman and transfer students -- because all of our students use the workbook when they first come to campus, faculty can concentrate on teaching topic-relevant material rather than APA citation style! We can hold students accountable for mechanics and academic sources, too, since the book addresses those important topics, as well! The supplementary teaching materials and exercises within the workbook are very helpful -- multiple faculty can teach the course and we can be sure the same message is getting conveyed." -Lynn S. Urban, PhD, University of Central Missouri 10 Reasons Why You Should Adopt Write & Wrong Written reports and other types of writings by criminal justice and social science professionals can directly affect people's lives.
