OverviewCollege Writing Resources is a complete resource for writing courses, providing strong, clear writing instruction to guide students in the process of composing essays in a variety of modes and an unsurpassed amount of exercises. The third of a three-book series, College Writing Resources fits perfectly in essay- and bridge-level courses. Betsy Long’s successful writing framework, the Four Cs (concise, credible, clear, correct checkpoints), is used consistently to reinforce corresponding skills. A cultural literacy theme runs through the text as each chapter is introduced by a short Culture Note and has that topic carried throughout in illustrations, sample paragraphs, and exercises. An appealing four-color design showcases the photos and adds visual interest for an increasingly visual student body. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Elizabeth C.
