Chapter 12, "Correcting Common Errors," includes as alphabetical listing of twenty-five common stumbling blocks and advice on correcting them. A Thorough Introduction to the Writing Process. Part One guides you through the writing process—and includes a brief but informative section on how to construct a persuasive argument. Tools for Research Writing. part Three includes a separately tabbed chapter on MLA and APA documentation styles, information on using the internet for research, and an annotated sample student paper in MLA format.
