Writing the Research Paper.........
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I gave this book 5 stars because it has everything you need to write a research paper in it. It goes from the cover page all the way through to the bibliography. It also is very well organized, so if you're just looking for one certain part, it's easy to find.
Useful for instruction in writing research papers.

I teach an English Composition course at a small community college. The course focuses on writing research papers of 12-15 pages. Most of our students have no experience in citing sources. I have found the Winkler and McCuen book helpful in teaching them the two principle annotation styles, as well as in guiding students through the process of writing the research paper itself. The book also includes instructions for citing electronic sources according to MLA and APA style formats. The fifth edition of the book, with its spiral binding and and tabs, is, in my opinion, a very useful tool for students who are writing their first research papers. Of course, the book must necessarily abbreviate some of the information regarding MLA and APA formats, so we also have available, in our college library, both of the official style manuals for these research paper formats. However, for the students' own suppementary "textbook," I have found this text a very worthwhile choice.
