Giltrow's book is such a huge help for me since I am taking the course Communication Skills II or COMM 2. Its specialization is Academic Writing. We are expected to complete various writing tasks ranging from simple essays to hardcore research papers. I like how clear her concepts and techniques made writing so much fun in the academe area which is a clear indication of tedious work. This book is also where Dr. Arinto based on our book in COMM 2.
