Psychology Student Writer's Manual, The (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Part of the writing process can be controlled and part cannot: writing feeds on enough time and good work habits. THE PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT WRITER'S MANUAL describes writing as a creative process in need of planning: finding an argument that will keep a discussion going all the way to more than one possible conclusion; fitting in source materials from the Internet and the library; fixing the usual grammar and style mistakes; and following APA style format and source citation. Jill M. Scott et al not only cover psychological correlation, description and experimentation paper writing but also handle genograms, which they clearly explain and illustrate, and professional ethics. The book helps writers in all fields and is every bit as well organized and written as Christopher Thaiss and James F. Sanford's WRITING FOR PSYCHOLOGY.
