" " "Thisversionof " "Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond" "has been updated to reflect the 8th edition of the MLA Handbook(April 2016)." " " The 8th editionintroduces sweeping changes to thephilosophy 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. " Revealing the writing process through interactive learning " Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond " presents writing, reading, and research processes dynamically, using a variety of visuals to illustrate how readers interact with texts and how writers compose. One of the first textbook authors to focus on multimedia composing, Lester Faigley employs his own advice to engage students in every step of the writing process for both college composition and everyday life and pulls back the curtain on how writers work. Aligned with the learning goals for a first-year college writing course identified in the 2014 Outcomes Statement from the Council of Writing Program Administrators, " Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond " gives students the support they need to succeed in first-year composition, in their other courses, and in their careers. In the Fourth Edition, students can also practice and explore what they ve learned chapter-by-chapter with interactive MyWritingLab tools, assignments and projects. "
