Review :
The case format establishes a narrative arc to each chapter to engage students in the chapter contents. Real student experiences give the text credibility and ground the advice about writing in real contexts. The focus on writing processes, advanced academic genres, and revision make this book an excellent choice for undergraduates and masters students across the disciplines.

  It helps learners contemplate the academic challenges they face and apply that learning also to real life, giving them a feeling of achievement for only addressing the problem, but also becoming able to overcome it. It is also helpful in encouraging individuals to seek support when it comes to academic assignments.
