Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Argument.
Prepares students to communicate persuasively and collaboratively in academic, career, and other real-life settings In the right circumstances, argumentation becomes a "habit of mind" that students can transfer to their other college courses, careers, and civic lives. Revel Argument Today helps instructors convey to students how to listen carefully, critically analyze all sides of an issue, weigh the available evidence, figure out what they believe, and express their ideas clearly -- instead of training them to attack and defend. This approach is essential as virtual workplaces, social networking, and multimodality place us in continual conversations with others.
The genre-based approach of Argument Today promotes academic, career, and personal effectiveness through adaptable, common arguments like analyses, narratives, commentaries, evaluations, and proposals. Key concepts are presented visually to help students understand genre conventions and begin composing quickly and effectively. With concise, modular chapters and sections, individual instructors can adapt the book to their style with ease. Along with numerous revisions and enhancements, the 2nd Edition is now available via Revel(TM).
NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
