Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This little book is very clear about writing in science. It also gives faculty concrete ideas of how and, just as importantly, why writing needs to be assigned work. Students will be required to write in their professional lives and need to learn early how to do it. Practice is key and writing in various classes and for various kinds of tasks will help students master it for their futures. And let's not forget the faculty; we can get rusty, too! In all, this is a good tool for undergraduate science education.
