Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Fundamental College Composition: A Grammar and Style Guide (FCC: AGSG), contains nine new chapters designed to further assist college students in their journey to become clear and precise writers of English. College classrooms--even college level English courses themselves--often overlook the teaching of fundamental writing. Consequently, students may acquire content knowledge, but often lack the language skills necessary to either demonstrate or apply that knowledge. College-level study exposes students to ideas that are complex. A cursory study of grammar and the rules of basic language arts give students the tools they need to express complex ideas clearly and persuasively. FCC: AGSG provides systematic lessons that progressively build the students' understanding of the clarity and efficacy of language. Acquiring knowledge certainly deserves possession of the language skills to express it. Without those skills, education does not meet its primary objective. FCC: AGSG was written to assure exposure to those skills. REVIEWS and WORDS of PRAISE This book is a great guide for student writers. It concisely and clearly presents useful style and grammar techniques. I assign it in all my writing classes, and my students swear by it. I even used it as a reference when I wrote my first textbook. Anyone who uses this book will become a better writer. ---Thomas A. Miller, J.D., Associate Professor, Justice and Law Administration, Western Connecticut State University, co-author of Business Law: Foundations for the 21st Century Fundamental College Composition provides a concise and accessible explanation of grammar components and importance. DeFeo’s prose is fluid and an excellent style example for writers to model. All writers should memorize this quote from the text, "Electronic, immediate, thoughtless communication has tainted the substructures of academic, formal written communication." ---Deanna Schaab, Adjunct Professor, Western Connecticut State University. This is a textbook aimed at improving the language skills of its readers. Written with humor and a broad vocabulary, it entertains as it educates. It will give today's students a deeper understanding of the basic rules and structure of the English language and improve skills that are often overlooked during their academic careers. Anyone looking to improve their language skills whether in an academic setting, the workplace, or one's personal life will benefit from reading this text. --Roseanne Shea, J.D., Professor, Attorney at Law, Legal Reference Librarian at the Haas Library, Western Connecticut State University, Danbury Fundamental College Composition has accomplished the near impossible--it has made writing instruction for the college student accessible and easy to understand. The book's concise and informative 12 chapters will be a welcome addition to the undergraduate curriculum of any post-secondary institution. The content reflects the author's many years of teaching writing to students and highlights what he considers the main pitfalls in student writing. To that end Professor DeFeo's longest chapter, “Punctuation”, identifies a key villain to poor composition. The book removes the mystery that adorns most pedagogical approaches to college level writing instruction and sets a path for student improvement of this most critical of communication skills. --Terrence P. Dwyer, J.D., Professor, Western Connecticut State University. Author of Legal Issues in Homeland Security – U.S. Supreme Court Cases, Commentary, and Questions (2014, Loose Leaf Law Publications, Inc.) Professor DeFeo's Fundamental College Composition is an invaluable tool for the college student, academic, executive, and anyone else who needs to improve their writing skills. As his Foreword reveals, DeFeo's text is laced with subtle humor and moments of delightful insight. All of us need help with writing, at least occasionally. This highly accessible book will nourish the careful and determined reader who puts forth the effort to learn. --Peter Weston Wood, author of To Swallow a Toad (1987, Donald I. Fine, Inc.). Guest columnist, The New York Times, The Jersey City Journal In the first edition of Fundamental College Composition William DeFeo provided undergraduate students with a concise but thorough exposition on the habits and tools of being a good writer. Professor DeFeo has now expanded on what is going to become a classic of college writing instruction. Seven new chapters and a prior chapter expanded into two updated individual chapters add to this engaging and straight-forward approach to establishing solid writing skills. As he did in the First Edition with his chapter “Punctuation,” Professor DeFeo in this new edition has added an important chapter on “Verb Tenses and Moods.” This is another culprit of poor composition that has perpetually plagued the college writer. After reading Professor DeFeo’s expanded Second Edition to Fundamental College Composition there can be no excuse for failing to present clear and flowing syntax. --Terrence P. Dwyer, J.D., Professor, Western Connecticut State University, columnist and author
Download or read book College English Composition written by Nader Elhefnawy and published by Nader Elhefnawy. This book was released on 2019-07-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COLLEGE ENGLISH: COMPOSITION is a guide for those who must take a college composition class—and everyone else interested in the ability to write at a college level. In contrast with other books on the subject, it emphasizes thinking and reading skills over rhetorical and stylistic formulas and rules, and boils these down to the very basics. There are no lists and tables of things to memorize, no jargon, no Greek and Latin. Instead this book offers the essentials, spelled out in the clearest way possible, and illustrated with suitable examples, with the whole organized around easy-to-peruse questions and answers like "What is a Thesis?"—the very questions students, and everyone else, need answered if they are to succeed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition and Style: A Handbook for College Students A general discussion which, among other things, speaks of the purpose and the method of this book, will be found in the accompanying introduction. Since this is intended chiefly for teachers, it is separate from the rest of the book. The latter is for the student, working preferably under direction, and it contains accounts of the theory of writing and exercises for practice. The more important parts are Chapters V-VII, of Part I, Chapters II-IV of Part II, and Chapters II-V of Part III, largely because they give more opportunity for practice. But they cannot wholly be understood without the other chapters. Several citations, notably those on pages ii6-139, I have introduced without the usual form of reference, deeming it best for students to come to some opinion without knowing the authorship. My indebtedness to the many writers of rhetorics from the days of Aristotle to our own immediate year is manifest Many of these are specifically mentioned in foot-notes, but I should also like especially to name, as books that have been most useful to me, the late Adams Sherman Hill's The Principles of Rhetoric, Professor Barrett Wendell's English Com position, the late Hammond Lamont's English Composition, Professor George P.Baker's The Principles of Argumentation, and Professor Ashley H. Thomdike's The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
