High school, junior college & university students all need to know how to write a well-reasoned, coherent research paper. For decades Turabian's Student's Guide to Writing College Papers has helped them to develop this critical skill. Designed for less advanced writers than Turabian's Manual of Writers of Research Papers, Theses & Dissertations. The Student's Guide is organized into three sections that lead students thru the process of developing & revising a paper. Part 1, "Writing Your Paper," guides students thru the research process with discussions of choosing & developing a topic, validating sources, planning arguments, writing drafts, avoiding plagiarism & presenting evidence in tables and figures. Part 2, "Citing Sources," begins with a succinct introduction to why citation is important & includes sections on the three major styles students might encounter in their work - Chicago, MLA & APA - all with full coverage of electronic source citation. Part 3, "Style," covers all matters of style important to writers of college papers, from punctuation to spelling to presenting titles, names & numbers.
