Items related to Techniques for College Writing: The Thesis Statement...
TECHNIQUES FOR COLLEGE WRITING: THE THESIS STATEMENT AND BEYOND is a brief rhetoric that empowers readers by giving them the tools they need to create a precise and well-focused thesis. With a focus on the thesis statement as the lens through which readers can approach the entire thinking and writing process, TECHNIQUES is divided into three parts that build upon one another: Part I--Thinking Through the Thesis Statement, Part II--Thinking Through Your Writing Assignment, and Part III--Writing Beyond the Composition Classroom. In-chapter practice exercises, writing applications, revision tools, and writing assignments help readers gain confidence so that they can begin to incorporate the techniques they've learned in the book into their own personal writing styles.

"Such a text is long overdue...its intense focus on the thesis is an approach lacking in many composition books on the market today."
"Students and instructors alike will appreciate the way Techniques for College Writing provides specific, concrete approaches to writing process in general, along with introductions to common genres of college-level writing."
