"Students Must Write is a guide to better writing for students of all subjects. It may be read either as an alternative to a course on written communication or to complement such a course. Tutors who have recommended earlier editions to their students will find that this new edition continues to provide a straightforward introduction to the essentials of scholarly writing. Changes have not been made simply for the sake of change, but all chapters have been updated where necessary - especially in relation to the increasing importance of computers in retrieving information and in preparing coursework assignments."--Jacket.
