Parts IV through VII cover the decisions involved in basic sentence construction, style, punctuation, mechanics and spelling. In each chapter, "Critical Decisions" boxes guide students through analyses of key issues. With an emphasis unmatched by competitors, Chapter 8 on "Writing and Arguing in the Disciplines" introduces ways of thinking about the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, and introduces typical writing scenarios. Sample essays and strategies address each discipline area's ways of knowing or arguing.
