About This Product

Fully redesigned and updated, "The College Writer: A Guide to Thinking, Writing, and Researching," 8th Edition, breaks writing into manageable tasks -- from gathering ideas and organizing details to creating effective openings to researching and revising. A four-in-one resource with a rhetoric, reader, research guide and complete handbook for writers of any skill level, it provides step-by-step guidance for composing in traditional rhetorical modes, supported by many diverse models from professional and peer writers. The revised edition helps students write personal narratives, comparison-contrast essays, position papers, literary analyses, research papers and much more -- all while clearly delineating ethical and unethical uses of GenAI when researching and writing. This title is available with MindTap, a flexible online platform that enhances learning through interactive activities, built-in eBook content, and integrated tools like Turnitin, NetTutor, Gale College Collection, and Bongo to support student success.
