505			_a"The underlying assumptions of this book are 1) developmental students learn best by following clear guidelines and structures; 2) they acquire skills easier by engaging in hands-on activities; and 3) they relate to their peers ' writing samples better than they relate to professional writings.
505			_aBased on these assumptions, we have presented our text in simple, clear language and in an easy-to-follow and highly visual format. We have designed exercises that engage students in hands-on activities, and we draw most of the examples from our students' writings. All of the sample essays used are our students' essays. The whole book is truly centered on our students, whose genuine voices are heard throughout the book." (Preface, p. ix)
