"Years ago, I obtained my private pilot's license. During my training, my instructor stressed the importance of takeoff and landing checklists. I learned that every good pilot reads methodically through the series of steps at the beginning and end of each flight, no matter how experienced the pilot may be. Such repetitive efforts ensure successful flights, and fewer mistakes are made since the exercises are not left to fallible memory. I have written this book to provide high-school and college students with simplified checklists to successful essays. The text is specifically designed to assist those students who are required to write in formal English rather than in a journalistic or creative manner; the content focuses on the correction of frequent mistakes in writing and the material covered in standard high-school and college tests. The approach i have taken in this book is to make it as succinct and pragmatic as possible. It is not intended to replace a grammar book that provides full explanations and exceptions. The checklists can be applied to papers of varying length and subject matter, although essays with a structured format serve as the primary focus. As a responsible pilot should do with a flight checklist, a student should read methodically through the rules contained within this book prior to submitting an essay. I would never fly without a checklist; I suggest the same for all students who wish academic achievement on their papers." - from the Preface.…
