Description
"Available for the first time with Macmillan's new online learning tool, Achieve, From Inquiry to Academic Writing helps students understand academic culture and its ways of thinking, reading, and writing. With a practical and widely proven step-by-step approach, the text demystifies cross-curricular thinking and writing. An extensive thematic reader brings students into interdisciplinary conversations that not only bear on their college careers but also reflect larger cultural issues that they will encounter outside the academy. The fifth edition includes 23 new readings (forty percent) and an increased emphasis on using critical reading to evaluate multiple perspectives and stretch beyond binary thinking. Achieve for From Inquiry to Academic Writing is a dedicated composition space that guides students through drafting, peer review, source check, reflection, and revision." -- Provided by publisher
