A Brief Guide to Writing From Readings With Selected Readings: University of Alabama by Stephen Wilhoit (2013-05-04)

This brief guide teaches how to write the most common papers assigned in college courses: source-based essays that summarize, analyze, critique, and synthesize. Comprehensive enough to serve as a primary text yet compact enough to serve as a supplement, this clear and concise writing guide teaches you how to critically read, clearly summarize, carefully respond to, precisely critique, creatively synthesize, and accurately quote or paraphrase texts. A Brief Guide is a valuable teaching and reference tool that many disciplines find useful for class work and for independent study.
