Preface: Demystifying academic conversation
Introduction: Entering the conversation
"They say": starting with what others are saying
"Her point is": the art of summarizing
"As he himself puts it": the art of quoting
"Yes/No/Okay, but": three ways to respond
"And yet": distinguishing what you say from what they say
"Skeptics may object": planting a naysayer in your text
"So what? Who cares?" saying why it matters
"As a result": connecting the parts
"You mean I can just say it that way?": academic writing doesn't mean setting aside your own voice
"But don't get me wrong": the art of metacommentary
"He contends": using the templates to revise
"I take your point": entering class discussions
"Don't make them scroll up": entering online conversations
"What's motivating this writer?": reading for the conversation
"On closer examination": entering conversations about literature
"The data suggest": writing in the sciences
"Analyze this": writing in the social sciences
The best-selling book that demystifies academic writing.
