With The McGraw Hill Guide, learners apply a goals-oriented, purpose-based approach to their writing assignments and practice the habits of mind of engaged students. Students are encouraged to understand the underlying principles on which their writing is assessed by offering reflective opportunities for learners to evaluate themselves. In doing so, students will develop the strategies needed to transfer these skills throughout their coursework and long after they have completed college. Structured to help students set, achieve, and assess their writing goals, The McGraw Hill Guide encourages students to apply the skills they develop to assignments across the disciplines, and further integrate them into their personal, civic, and professional lives. This title is a great fit for Composition 1 (and 2) at 4-year schools. The text reflects MLA 9e updates.
