The College Writing Source Book combines practical guides for student writers with exercises specifically geared toward developmental writing instruction at the college level. This large format manual does more than a traditional handbook by covering the basics of sentences, punctuation, word choice, paragraphs, revision, the writing process, and rhetorical modes beyond simply describing and providing examples of content. It also includes exercises for students to get practice working with these complex issues for writers from a friendly, "coach-like" voice that encourages clear communication without overwhelming learners.
