Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Freshman Composition, Expository Writing, First-Year Writing, Basic Writing, or any course where students need a reference for grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and research.
SF Compact offers a simple, brief, and inexpensive reference for students, as well as ample exercises and thorough coverage of research and documentation.
As both authors and composition instructors, John Ruszkiewicz, Christy Friend recognize that the population of every freshman composition classroom is diverse - from ambitious chemistry majors and aspiring poets to budding entrepreneurs and future teachers. Yet whatever their varied interests, the authors have recognized that all students want a writing text that is to-the-point, easy to carry, and affordable enough to keep around for future classes and careers. To that end, the second edition of SF Compact offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the writing and research processes in a student-friendly package.
