From the Back Cover
Designed for the adult learner who needs a review of grammar and writing skills, WRITING SKILLS FOR TECHNICAL STUDENTS provides diagnosis, instruction, and practice in 15 self-paced modules that can be adapted to both individualized and classroom methods. There are 12 grammar modules, followed by modules on paragraph writing, report writing, and business letter writing. Each module consists of a statement of objectives followed by instruction and practice in small segments with immediate feedback. The examples used throughout are geared to be meaningful and relevant, particularly for technical students. The fundamental principles applied are as follows:
- Test―find out what the students already know.
- Teach―explain to them the concepts they need to know.
- Retest―check to see that they have mastered the objectives. (If not, repeat the procedure.)
The organization and modular format of this text will provide instructors with a flexible and effective approach to teaching students how to write well.
Improvements to the Fifth Edition include:- Addition of editing paragraphs at the end of the modules so students can practice grammar skills in context.
- Addition of a module on nouns providing additional practice on this important topic.
- Revised instructions for each activity make the Fifth Edition even more self-paced, providing students with clear directions for independent study.
- Addition of boxed tips throughout gives students easier access to key grammar rules.
NEW! New to this edition is the free Companion Website™ at www.prenhall.com/delaware. This dynamic Website includes:
- Additional Grammar Exercises
- Create a Document Exercises
- Photo Analysis Exercises
- Technical Writing Samples
