Summary note
"This book takes readers step-by-step through crafting research questions or theses; executing library database searches; analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing literature; and drafting specific parts of a paper. Writing samples, including two full-length student papers in draft, marked-up, and final form, illustrate key concepts such as how to synthesize literature, how revision differs from editing, and how to recognize and avoid plagiarism." "Students will find invaluable guidance on how to communicate with instructors on a professional level along with examples of checklists and grading rubrics instructors might use. They will also benefit from a self-quiz to enhance their knowledge of APA style, as well as example reference formats and other quick-reference style tools."--Jacket.
