Summary
Making few assumptions about students' prior preparation, Reading and Writing in the Academic Community is a rhetoric with readings designed to teach the most common academic forms of summary, response, critique, analysis, and synthesis. Each form is taught with an emphasis on writing process, and strengthened with coverage of reading and research.
