Like other handbooks, "The Practical Grammar Handbook for College Writers" includes the rules and conventions of grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and research. This handbook is unique in its logical, step-by-step approach which enables all students to understand the material, those who have an intuitive sense of language as well as those who are more math oriented. Students appreciate the handbook's friendly, conversational style and the interesting exercise topics. The research skills chapter provides thorough explanations for every aspect of writing a standard research paper in MLA. Guided activities allow students to understand paraphrasing, quoting, and documentation so that they can complete a research paper with confidence. -- From publisher's description.
