505 _a"Essentials of Academic Writing is an essay-level book focused exclusively on writing academic papers. It is organized around three principles: a thorough focus on the fundamentals of writing academic papers; a cross-disciplinary approach to writing that emphasizes the importance of writing skills beyond the English course; and a focus on reading skills as the underlying foundation of a good critical thinker. One of the hallmarks of this book is the use of a single sample student essay, from start to finish, as an annotated example of the process used by a developing writer. From the brainstorming diagram in the first chapter to the final draft at the end of Part One, students are given a strong, consistent model to emulate.
_tThorough, step-by-step coverage of the process of writing, from brainstorming to revision
_tCoverage of writing in a variety of disciplines (social sciences, sciences, humanities, business, and technology)
_tUtilizes a student-lauded and unique “ISCE acronym” for intelligence, substance, clarity, and energy - a simple way of reminding students of the essential features of good academic writing and the important criteria they need to keep in mind as they draft and revise their writing.
_tIncludes an insightful section on how instructors evaluate student writing
_tGrammar and mechanics section that assumes some ability on the part of student writers, but also covers the most common types of errors and avoids using jargon
_tCovers argumentation, as well as expository and persuasive writing
_tSample essays annotated with instructional notes and commentary
