The Brief McGraw-Hill Guide, Writing for College, Writing for Life

"The Brief McGraw-Hill Guide" is designed to help students learn to write more effectively not only in their college courses but also in their professional, civic, and personal lives. Combining a flexible reader, rhetoric, and research guide, "The Brief Guide" shows students how to "set" goals for their writing, to use effective composing strategies to reach those goals, and to "assess" their progress toward achieving them. Based on the idea that effective writers are strong communicators in any context, "The Brief McGraw-Hill Guide" emphasizes the skills established by the Writing Program Administrator's Outcomes Statement that form the foundation of assessment practices at writing programs throughout the country -- rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking, writing processes, and conventions. These skills form the basis of the instruction in each assignment chapter and throughout the text.
