Publisher's Synopsis
Term paper due tomorrow? Haven't got the time to look through hundreds of pages of a reference book in order to format your paper correctly? Are you a SLACKER? Then this is the guide for you! Professor Floogle's Tips presents the rules of English usage in ranked order, with the most important rules listed first. In fact, all of the rules are important, but failure to follow the MOST important rules is more likely to attract the wrong kind of attention to your paper (i.e., red marks or corrections) and result in a lower grade. While no writing guide can absolutely guarantee you a better grade, as a broad generalization if you at least follow the first 25 tips the grade on your paper should be at least a "B." If you follow all 101 Tips, you are assured a better grade, at least for the grammar used in your paper. You would hope that the thoughts and ideas you express in your paper would influence the grade you receive. It may be unfair but is nevertheless true that people judge what you say (your ideas, concepts, and synthesis) by how you say it (your writing style, grammar, and presentation). This guide helps you get your paper looking good, allowing you to concentrate more on the content (or, be done quickly).
