Short Description

The third Canadian edition of The Little Pearson Handbook responds to the need for a compact resource for students who must write assignments in a variety of courses but who are probably not in a writing or composition class-which turns out to be a category that covers almost all students!

This version of The Little Pearson Handbook has been updated to reflect the 8th Edition of the MLA Handbook (April 2016)*

 

The focus of non-writing courses is necessarily on the discipline itself that students are studying; the concise format of The Little Pearson Handbook helps keep the focus on the discipline while at the same time providing enough support to enable students to write their assignments well.


Personalize Learning with MyWritingLab-¢

MyWritingLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.

 

Students, if interested in purchasing this title with MyWritingLab, ask your instructor for the correct package ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.


* The 8th Edition introduces sweeping changes to the philosophy and details of MLA works cited entries. Responding to the "increasing mobility of texts," MLA now encourages writers to focus on the process of crafting the citation, beginning with the same questions for any source. These changes, then, align with current best practices in the teaching of writing which privilege inquiry and critical thinking over rote recall and rule-following. 


**Supplements are available for download from the MyLab Instructor Resources page. Contact your Pearson rep for access information and instructions if you don't have a MyLab account.
