Writing well is critical to college success. Over two or more years, students are asked to write in multiple genres and for a wide range of purposes, audiences, and courses. They need a resource that's easy to use and that gets what they're looking for. Enter Writer's Help, a powerful online resource with "the simplicity and usability of Google," according to one student user, but with the instruction that free online resources lack. Its trusted content, from the widely used Hacker Handbooks, helps students whether they are searching for writing advice on their own or as part of an assignment. Its tools, built around a smart search that recognizes nonexpert terminology, are as simple as they are innovative. Writer's Help also saves teachers time by helping them assign pages and track progress, providing a window into student use and achievement. User-friendly help for college writers also means useful data for instructors and administrators--two benefits of Writer's Help 2.0. *available in Twelve month, Twenty-Four month, and Four-Year access for students* See what's in Writer's Help

Rules for Writers succeeds because it has always been grounded in classroom experience. By looking at her own students' needs, Diana Hacker created an affordable and practical classroom tool that doubles as a quick reference. Developed with the help of instructors from two- and four-year schools, the sixth edition gives students quick access to the information they need to solve writing problems in any college course. In the Hacker tradition, the new contributing authors -- Nancy Sommers, Tom Jehn, Jane Rosenzweig, and Marcy Carbajal Van Horn -- have crafted solutions for the writing problems of today's college students. Together they give us a new edition that provides more help with academic writing and research and one that works better for a wider range of multilingual students. Flexible content options -- in print and online -- allow students to get more than they pay for.
