3 Preface The Student Success Guide: Writing Skills is a companion to the Student Success Guide: Study Skills book. The purpose of each is to provide a systematic approach to learning the skills needed by every successful student. The study skills text focuses on vocabulary building, time management, listening and concentration, reading and studying textbooks, taking notes, reviewing and preparing for tests. The writing skills text focuses on building those skills needed by the college student to fulfill typical writing assignments. The Student Success Guides may be used independently by the student who wishes to improve his or her chances of success in humanities and social science courses. The books could also be used as the sole text in a College Success course or as an adjunct text in an English or Humanities course. The driving idea behind the Student Success Guides is that methodical and purposive studying is the most effective and efficient. I don't claim that my methods are the only ones. In fact, I can't even call them my methods, since I have taken the work and suggestions of many people and applied them as I saw fit. To do well in college the student does not have to be an excellent writer, but a certain competence is expected and is essential. This text is designed to help the student develop sufficient writing competency to produce papers and exams acceptable in any college level course. May 1990 Robert T. Carroll Sacramento City College Acknowledgment and dedication. For the first half of my teaching career at Sacramento City College I was fortunate to have had Les Read as my colleague in the philosophy department. Les was one of my closest friends until his sudden death at age 48. Ed Stupka who taught college success classes Les, and I spent many fruitful hours discussing, arguing, and evaluating various teaching techniques and ideas. Without their insights and criticisms, this guide would not have been written. The Los Rios Community College Board of Trustees granted me a sabbatical leave in the spring of 1986 to complete this project.

Do the subject and predicate agree in number in each sentence? 3. Is every word spelled correctly? 4. Are sentences punctuated correctly? 5. Are words capitalized properly? 6. Does each pronoun unambiguously refer to its antecedent? 7. Do you stay in the same tense and person throughout? 8. Are all words used correctly?.

42 SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO EXERCISES ANSWERS TO EXERCISES EXERCISE 1 - WRITING: CHECKING THE BASICS Below is the corrected version of this essay. Corrections are underlined. "8 8: 46#,?)6 Throughout history the question of capital punishment has been a cause of much controversy. I believe that capital punishment is not morally justifiable on the grounds that it is immoral to kill a human being. And, the effect of killing criminals is to encourage violence. Those in favor of capital punishment claim that it is a deterrent to crime. They also logically claim that it helps to alleviate the overcrowded situation in most federal and state institutions. Another often heard defense is that executing criminals could save the taxpayers many dollars that could be spent on food, shelter and clothing during a lifetime sentence. There has actually been little to substantiate the deterrent theory because few criminals consider getting caught when planning an illegal action. The theory is, for the most part, archaic and irrelevant to the question of capital punishment. It is, in fact, another question in itself. While it is true that our penal institutions are overcrowded, this is not a reason to kill people. If this logic is accepted, it would be permissible to kill three-quarters of New York City. Crowded conditions and criminal punishment should not be confused with each other. They're separate problems whose existence indicates that there is too much confusion. As to the third claim, that much money would be saved, I ask you to value the worth of a dead man. While it is true that the criminal who has been executed will no longer commit crimes, a person who is helped to become a useful citizen can become quite valuable. It is true that there may be incorrigible people who many people will think should be killed; but that person has the same right as everyone else. He needs, perhaps, more help than others, but I do not believe that it's really a sound reason to kill him or have him killed. The whole of society is affected in a bad way when we start killing in the name of law and order. The country's attitude better start changing or we'll all be in a mess. If it is wrong to kill one man, it's twice as wrong to kill two. 0=
