Brief New Century Handbook, The (with CD and MyCompLab) (3rd Edition) (MyCompLab Series)
"Besides the documentation section, the other factor that weighed most heavily in our decision to use this handbook was the grammar section. Each part is clear, attractive, and well illustrated. The examples of how to change particular problem areas (and why) are easy to follow for any level student."—Scott A. Topping, Southwestern Michigan College"I am very positive about this book. I like the organization and I like the incorporating of computing technologies. It gives students a lot of ways to use the book as they write and it gives me a lot of options for incorporating the book into my courses. . .I can see uses for it from beginning writing through advanced writing. There are no other books about which I can say that."—Richard Marback, Wayne State University"By its very nature, in today's technology-enriched research environment, the Research section demands good integration of technology information, and Hult and Huckin have done very well. There is a lot of technology information included in the text throughout this section, and a good selection and variety of "visuals," not only "Help" boxes and "Web" icons, but also notecards, "printouts," screen images, and blue information boxes. The variety of visuals makes the section easier to navigate and find what we need."—Scott Robert Stankey, Anoka Ramsey Community College"I like the way Hult begins talking about the writing process by starting with a chapter on reading critically, and I like the way that the writing process is described chiefly as a process of revision and elaboration (starting with prewriting). Not only in these chapters, but throughout the book, Hult adopts just the right tone, I think, treating students as intelligent even if unfamiliar with the conventions of academic discourse."—Matthew Parfitt, Boston University--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
