The Gordon State College Writing Handbook

Abstract

There are many benefits in using this guide beyond the rules of punctuation and grammar. More than anything, it will provide you with the tools you need to succeed in your college writing career in all disciplines, from your first semester to your last. Perhaps most importantly to the student with limited financial resources, this guide’s cost represents a substantial savings from the $90.00 composition guide that it replaces. (You’re welcome.) This guide is organized according to the Areas of your Core Curriculum. The Core divides the subjects you study by Areas, and since writing is a factor in all subjects of study, and since the purposes and features of your writing will differ from one Area to the next, organizing this guide by Area seems to make the most sense and to be the most convenient. You will also be able to navigate through this guide with a good understanding of the Core curriculum.
