Description

Features

·    Engaging, informal writing style demonstrates as well as advocates interesting writing as evidenced by sections titled, “Magic Words on the World Wide Web,” and “The Internet Itch: Should You Scratch it First?”

·    Emphasis on inquiry-based investigations challenges students’ assumption that research papers are empty rituals of writing up foregone conclusions rather than opportunities for discovery and learning.

·    Five-week structure is designed to overcome procrastination by suggesting weekly activities (and assignments) that keep the process going.

·    Latest information on using the Internet for research includes an extensive discussion of how to evaluate Web sources.

·    Productive exercises help students actually write their papers, rather than engage in busywork not directly related to the assignment.

·    Emphasis on selecting search terms helps students find what they need more efficiently in the library and on the Web.

·    Full treatment of MLA and APA citation formats, including full coverage of electronic citation formats, now provides a comprehensive resource.

·    Coverage of reading like a researcher provides techniques for reading source material strategically and critically.

New To This Edition

·  A new feature in each chapter follows the progress of a single student as she works to develop and draft her research essay using some of the book’s techniques.

·  More coverage of framing the question and finding the thesis, including a discussion of what makes a good research question and how to identify a thesis after students explore their topics.

·  A new exploration of Google vs. the Library addresses the advantages and disadvantages of each research tool from a student’s point of view.

·  A new section highlighting citations methods for popular new media like YouTube, podcasts, online interviews, and digital images.

·  New coverage of emerging digital sources and note taking techniques shows how RSS feeds and podcasts can provide useful information and how online technology like Google Notebook and Zotero could be alternatives to a pen and paper.
