Recenzijos

Expands on the excellent features of the first edition, with helpful explanations and useful practice activities, all based on real examples of effective university assignment writing. Highly recommended for all students who want to improve their academic writing at the tertiary level. -- Neil Matheson * University of Auckland, New Zealand * A systematic, logical and clear guide to academic writing, with opportunities to practise the different skills. One of the most helpful features is that the practice examples are taken from different disciplines, which makes them meaningful to a range of students. I would strongly recommend the book to both students and teachers. -- Rosalind Gallacher * University of Strathclyde, UK *
