Book excerpt: The first brief rhetorically-organized writing guide of its kind, College Writing Essentials presents comprehensive coverage of the six most frequently taught modes as well as the writing process and research. Most "brief" modes-based writing guides contain over 700 pages of writing instruction and readings, more content than can typically be covered in a course. College Writing Essentials is the first truly brief alternative: while instruction of prewriting, drafting, revising, and research writing is comprehensive, only the six most frequently taught modes-including Argument-are presented.
