There are no examples in the book. No examples of thesis statements, or maybe an example of a paper layout.

Fun easy book to read, with lots of quotes from professors. I don't feel "stronger" after reading this.

I found this book very helpful in organizing my essays, and creating fundamental ideas. However if your taking remedial classes or have a very difficult time with grammatical errors and sentence structure, I would consider you do not purchase this book, furthermore if your like me that your constantly getting a writers block than this is a great book to get creative and acquire vast amount of ideas.

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!

I like this book because it's easy to pick up and read the isolated and distinct chapters. If I'm having problems with research, I can look at JUST that chapter and read professor and student tips on that topic alone. I've enjoyed a lot of the creative insights and recommendations that the book suggests.
