For undergraduate Composition I and II courses.

 

From the first edition, The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers has focused on writing for a variety of purposes in a rhetorical situation.  Although audience, context, and writing situation are important, a writer’s purpose should be and has always been the focal point of the sequence of assignments.  The Prentice Hall Guide begins with the purposes of observing and remembering, which are personally important for the writer.  It then turns to more reader-based, academic purposes of critical reading, expository writing, and argumentative writing.  Each chapter in this sequence is self-contained with introductions, guidelines, professional and student models, writing process advice, research tips, revising guidelines, peer review questions, and postscript reflections on the assignment.

 

This compact, efficient guide addresses all the critical aspects of college writing - both personal and academic - within rich, self-contained chapters - no more flipping back and forth between sections to find appropriate guidelines, models, and writing process information.

From the Back Cover:

Stephen Reid is Composition Program Director at Colorado State University where he is responsible both for the curriculum and for training the many graduate teaching assistants. Based on his experiences with students and beginning instructors alike, Reid authored The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers. Since its first publication in 1989, this writing guide has stood out in the market because each chapter centers on a specific writing purpose and integrates techniques, writing process, and patterns of development within the context of the chapter. This innovative organization ends flipping back and forth within the text. Complemented by an annotated instructor’s edition, The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers is the perfect writing guide for learning–and learning to teach–purpose and process.

About the Author:
Stephen Reid is currently the Writing Program Administrator at Colorado State University, where he has taught for over 30 years. He regularly teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in writing, and he continues to teach contemporary fiction, 19th century British fiction, and non-fiction workshops. Current interests in composition include argument, visual literacy, teaching in online environments, testing and placement, and curriculum design. When he's not in the classroom, he's likely to be traveling, skiing, cycling, or flyfishing. He can be reached at his email address: Stephen.Reid@colostate.edu
