Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Write Essays, Reports, Emails-Anything-Better, Easier, and Faster A friend once told me, "I hate writing. I prefer math because there's one right answer." Trust me, it's not the first time I've heard those sentences as an English teacher. For so many people, writing is a difficult, time-consuming, stressful chore. But what if I gave you the "right answers" that other teachers never knew to tell you? "How to Write an Essay like an Equation: Write Better, Easier, Faster" is the perfect book for busy students and professionals who want short, practical solutions to their writing challenges. This concise writing guide will help you: Understand the types of audiences every writer faces; Establish an engaging sense of purpose in everything you write; Grasp the main genres of academic and professional writing; Get a main idea across more clearly and persuasively; Support main ideas with compelling evidence and clear structure; Link ideas to each other, creating "flow;" Edit sentences for greater clarity; and Use simple strategies for improving your writing process. Learning about these topics would usually require enrolling in a 16-week course and paying hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in tuition. You're frugal and busy, though, so I save you all of that money, time, and effort. "How to Write an Essay like an Equation offers writers of all levels an engaging read and an innovative step-by-step approach to writing. I especially appreciate the thought-exercises and activities at the end of each chapter-reflection and application! This book has become my go-to recommendation for student writers." - Jennifer Weiss, Director of an university writing center "The book will teach you how to highlight your main ideas, link thoughts and sentences, and edit your own work. You want this book if you find writing to be a fuzzy, amorphous activity and want clear steps to follow for creating solid written work." - Rebecca Helton, Edge for ScholarsI can teach only so many students in a class, but by publishing this book, I'm able to offer my best writing instruction in a much cheaper, faster, easier package. If you improved your writing, how would your life improve? What are you waiting for?
Download or read book How to Write an Essay like an Equation written by Eric Sentell and published by Eric Sentell. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking for a short, simple, systematic approach to writing? Pick up any other writing book, for any ability level, and you'll find a labyrinth of options, nuances, and caveats when straight-forward explanations would better serve most writers. In "How to Write an Essay like an Equation," Eric Sentell (PhD, Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse Studies) distills over a decade of experience teaching college writing into covering only writing's essentials with only the necessary amount of detail and explanation. In this book, you will learn about the types of audiences every writer faces, the power of purpose in writing, the main genres of academic and professional writing, the BLUF and how to find it, PEE Paragraph Structure, Content-Lexical Ties, editing for clarity and concision, using sentence boundaries, a short and practical style guide, the power of diction, and simple strategies for improving the writing process. Each chapter concludes with thought-exercises and writing activities to reinforce and build on what you learn. This is a book for busy people who need practical, straight-forward solutions to the challenges of writing: people who write at work; students who struggle with writing; students whose professors don’t (or can’t) teach writing; students preparing for college entrance exams; international students who need to prepare for Western writing; high school teachers preparing students for college; home-schooling parents who want to provide excellent instruction; and anyone who craves the “one right answers” of writing. Customer and Editorial Reviews: “The book will teach you how to highlight your main ideas, link thoughts and sentences, and edit your own work. You want this book if you find writing to be a fuzzy, amorphous activity and want clear steps to follow for creating solid written work.” — Rebecca Helton, Edge for Scholars “An essay can be quite similar to an algebra equation in terms of development and structure.” This statement helped me to realize that I was actually making writing an essay harder than it needed to be. If you pick up any other book on writing it is long and drawn out. It complicates things and you leave not understanding what you just read. This book isn’t like that. Not only is it short, but it is easy to comprehend. Eric Sentell also states in the very beginning that this book is for those who are busy and need a straight-forward explanation. I am a college student and I don’t have time to scour the internet for an explanation of how to write the essay that I waited until the last minute to write (don’t pretend you haven’t done it). This book is easy to read and comprehend, short and cheap. It is totally worth the money. My only complain is that I didn’t have this earlier in my college journey!! -- Sherry Peppers As a homeschool mom of 4, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the basics of writing as well as to anyone who wants to improve their writing. The book covers a broad range of writing topics that help in understanding who you’re writing to, how to develop a paragraph, and how to make your paragraph more interesting and concise. Most of the paragraphs are short which helps the reader understand and retain the information better. I also liked the use of bullet points. It made the material direct, concise, and easier to learn. I personally learned different writing tricks with this book, and I gained a better understanding of basic concepts and writing techniques that I had heard over and over in traditional English books but never fully grasped before. Good writing still takes time and practice, but this book helps lay a good foundation of how to get started and how to develop skills to improve your writing. -- Lisa Reavey This was excellent for me. I felt like it created simple, direct way to write professionally. Would definitely recommend. -- Kristin McKinnis

Download or read book How to Write Mathematics written by Norman Earl Steenrod and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1973-12-31 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic guide contains four essays on writing mathematical books and papers at the research level and at the level of graduate texts. The authors are all well known for their writing skills, as well as their mathematical accomplishments. The first essay, by Steenrod, discusses writing books, either monographs or textbooks. He gives both general and specific advice, getting into such details as the need for a good introduction. The longest essay is by Halmos, and contains many of the pieces of his advice that are repeated even today: In order to say something well you must have something to say; write for someone; think about the alphabet. Halmos's advice is systematic and practical. Schiffer addresses the issue by examining four types of mathematical writing: research paper, monograph, survey, and textbook, and gives advice for each form of exposition. Dieudonne's contribution is mostly a commentary on the earlier essays, with clear statements of where he disagrees with his coauthors. The advice in this small book will be useful to mathematicians at all levels.
Download or read book Why They Can t Write written by John Warner and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important challenge to what currently masquerades as conventional wisdom regarding the teaching of writing. There seems to be widespread agreement that—when it comes to the writing skills of college students—we are in the midst of a crisis. In Why They Can't Write, John Warner, who taught writing at the college level for two decades, argues that the problem isn't caused by a lack of rigor, or smartphones, or some generational character defect. Instead, he asserts, we're teaching writing wrong. Warner blames this on decades of educational reform rooted in standardization, assessments, and accountability. We have done no more, Warner argues, than conditioned students to perform "writing-related simulations," which pass temporary muster but do little to help students develop their writing abilities. This style of teaching has made students passive and disengaged. Worse yet, it hasn't prepared them for writing in the college classroom. Rather than making choices and thinking critically, as writers must, undergraduates simply follow the rules—such as the five-paragraph essay—designed to help them pass these high-stakes assessments. In Why They Can't Write, Warner has crafted both a diagnosis for what ails us and a blueprint for fixing a broken system. Combining current knowledge of what works in teaching and learning with the most enduring philosophies of classical education, this book challenges readers to develop the skills, attitudes, knowledge, and habits of mind of strong writers.

This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's easy to start, teach, and franchise a creative genealogy writing club, class, or publication. Start by looking at the descriptions of each business and outline a plan for how your group operates. Flesh out each category with your additional research pertaining to your local area and your resources. Your goal always is to solve problems and get measurable results or find accurate records and resources. Or research personal history and DNA-driven genealogy interpretation reporting. You can make keepsake albums/scrapbooks, put video online or on disc, and create multimedia text and image with sound productions or work with researching records in archives, oral history, or living legacies and time capsules. A living legacy is a celebration of life as it is now. A time capsule contains projects and products, items, records, and research you want given to future generations such as genograms of medical record family history, family newsletters, or genealogy documents, diaries, photos, and video transcribed as text or oral history for future generations without current technology to play the video discs. Or start and plan a family and/or school reunion project or franchise, business or event. Another alternative is the genealogy-related play or skit, life story, or memoir.
