The Must-Have Workbook for Improving Students' Writing Skills

"Our faculty have recognized the less than stellar writing skills of our students for a long time, but because of Write & Wrong we were able to develop a solid plan for addressing it. The book is perfect for our orientation class for incoming freshman and transfer students --  because all of our students use the workbook when they first come to campus, faculty can concentrate on teaching topic-relevant material rather than APA citation style! We can hold students accountable for mechanics and academic sources, too, since the book addresses those important topics, as well! The supplementary teaching materials and exercises within the workbook are very helpful -- multiple faculty can teach the course and we can be sure the same message is getting conveyed."
-Lynn S. Urban, PhD, University of Central Missouri

10 Reasons Why You Should Adopt Write & Wrong

Written reports and other types of writings by criminal justice and social science professionals can directly affect people's lives. Thus, it is crucial for the writer to effectively convey his or her message in a coherent and organized manner. Write & Wrong: Writing Within Criminal Justice Student Workbook is a comprehensive workbook that guides students through the entire process of writing an academic-style paper, by teaching them how to conduct library research, how to take notes without plagiarizing, how to cite in proper APA style, and how to complete a final draft of a paper. The Student Workbook includes hands-on writing exercises and reference guides to further help improve the students’ writing skills. The Second Edition also helps students prepare for entering the job market, by discussing how to write a professional résumé and cover letter, how to prepare PowerPoint presentations, and how to write a variety of professional reports.

An *Instructor’s Manual (978-1-284-12427-9, available only as a PDF) is available for adopting institutions and contains lectures corresponding to the chapters of the Student Workbook.  Every lecture includes detailed lesson plans, Notes to the Instructor, PowerPoint presentations, in-class exercises with answers, and reference guides.  Also contained in this in-depth teaching tool are a sample syllabus, grading rubrics, homework assignments with answers, and a mid-term exam with answers.
*Chapter 2 (Criminal Justice Library Research) and Chapter 10 (Preparing Professional Reports and Presentations) are not accompanied by resources and therefore are not included in the Instructor's Manual.
