The analytical: evaluating information, determining good sources, avoiding the levels of plagiarism, discerning types of knowledge, and more. Written by a Well-trained Mind Academy teacher, this user-friendly resource is a must-have for anyone tackling the necessary tasks of researching and accurate writing. ~ Ruth 7"x 10", 86 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
