Overview
The Reid Guide for College Writers was formerly known as The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers.
The Reid Guide for College Writers is built for the new world of college writing, with research and writer's purpose at the core. Today's writing, and writing instruction, have changed well beyond digital and visual delivery of texts; dramatic changes also are found in all stages of the writing process. This text is built for the new world of college writing, where you are not only a writer, but also a designer.
The 12th Edition continues its emphasis on finding and using authoritative materials. It encourages you to become an active researcher as you move from observing and investigating to more traditional academic research. The authors help you see the full spectrum of primary and secondary research, including the array of technologies that can help you find, evaluate, reflect on and synthesize your research into well-formed arguments.
