Every College Student Should Read This Book

As an adult college student, I was looking for a book that would outline what writing requirements are needed for various courses and this book fit the bill. Justin Cohen and Marti Page provided detailed and useful information for different college writing assignments. In addition, they provided all the fundamentals a college student should need to write effectively for any college course. The chapters covered key information with ample examples. It was also helpful to see professors' viewpoints on what students have presented to them and what they really want students to provide in essay and research paper submissions. Moreover, it was helpful to read what students had to say about the processes that they used to provide the correct amount of information for their writing assignments. If you are a college student who wants to improve your writing skills, BUY THIS BOOK!

Great!

I purchased four writing guides for my daughter, but none had the innovative approach of the Yale Daily News Guide to Writing College Papers. Because of the multiple sidebars containing interesting facts, specific professors' advice, and humorour anecdotes, this book was the first (and only) one she picked up. I see no need to force her to read the other three now since I've seen such a remarkable improvement in her essay-writing skills.

superb and straightforward

As an English major, I can attest to the momentous amount of written work that one sees in college life, and I must say that I found this book to be immensely helpful. Cohen and the other brilliant people at the Yale Daily news put the "fun" in "fundamentals" as they lead you through a subject that is much less opaque than it seems. This book has helped me to not only write better papers, but to formulate all my arguments in a lucid and tangible manner. It's like scales falling from the eyes. One word: automatic.

Wow what a helpful book!

I found this book very funny and very helpful. If you need help writing college papers then this book is for you. Highly Recommended!
