Rules for Writers - Diana Hacker

. .

Résumé :
Rules for Writers has long supported students in becoming confident academic writers-whether they're entering research conversations, revising with feedback, or polishing a final draft. The eleventh edition builds on that mission with a new AI and the Writing Process section that helps students understand how to use generative AI tools effectively, ethically, and critically.

Author Nancy Sommers draws on decades of research and teaching to offer trusted, accessible guidance. Clear examples, checklists, and updated models support every stage of writing. A detailed menu and glossary help students find answers fast, while exercises help them build skills that stick.

Achieve with Rules for Writers includes the e-book, personalized study plans and LearningCurve adaptive quizzes, AI literacy tutorials, student success tutorials, animated videos on academic writing topics, goal-setting and reflection questions, and an online writing space linked to handbook advice....
