The New Century Handbook is a comprehensive handbook and guide to the basics of writing, research, and grammar. Recognizing that the majority of college writers today use word processors and Internet information in conjunction with their composition courses, it is the first college handbook to thoroughly integrate an awareness of and instruction on the benefits of computer technology to the writing and research processes.
Chapters on the writing not only explain the various stages of creating a paper, but also incorporate instruction on how students can use word processors to create better developed, well-written essays. Likewise, the research section acknowledges students' varying experience with computers and the Internet, so it illustrates how to find and evaluate print and electronic sources to formulate thoughtful and carefully documented research papers. The chapters on grammar and mechanics offer a complete reference guide and include tips on how to work with grammar- and spell-checkers.
The New Century Handbook (Interactive Edition) is a valuable resource and learning tool for students and brings instruction on writing, research, and grammar to a new and exciting level. The CD-ROM includes all of the pages of the book itself and four key icons to help further students' learning. With a click of the mouse, students can experience the following:
“Weblink” icon … Go directly to websites to further explore writing, research, style, and grammar issues.
“Audio” icon … Hear verbal explanations of many of the sentence examples and additional explanation on writing and research points.
“Video” icon … See students discussing issues related to the writing and research process and an instructor offering guidance on troublesome grammar problems.
In addition, all the cross-references in the book are hot and students can jump from one point in the book to its cross-reference through a mouse click. There is also an index of key grammar, writing, research, and computer terms from which students can instantly access instruction on the points they are looking for.
