Academic Writing and the Emerging Scholar is an accessible, straightforward text that introduces first-year college students to the fundamentals of beginning composition. All four of its main sections are highly practical, and the authors have designed a number of learning activities that can serve as homework assignments, in-class exercises, or classroom-discussion facilitators. The book’s section on the basics of composition contains annotated example essays, and its MLA section conveniently combines in-text citation examples and corresponding bibliographic examples.
Academic Writing and the Emerging Scholar is a concise text that does not distract first-year students with a lot of “extra” information. Rather, its focus is on fundamental concepts and mechanics that are requisite to higher-level writing courses.
