This book guides first-year students through the dos and don'ts of composition, from such basic questions as "Can I use 'I' in a college essay?" to more advanced points about structure and style. Emphasizing the importance of writing in all majors, the author encourages students to find their own voice and to express themselves without jargon or "academese." Tips are provided on concision, use of supporting claims, marshaling arguments, researching topics, documenting sources, and revision.
Robert Alden Rubin has taught college writing at The George Washington University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Meredith College. He is the author of six books of nonfiction, and presently works as a freelance editor. He lives near Raleigh, North Carolina.
