While taking students through the writing process, this book also teaches attention to form, format, and accuracy. Academic Writing is an advanced, process-oriented writing text. The central goals are to teach the process that writers go through to produce texts and to provide instruction on how to meet the demands of the academy through attention to form and accuracy.
