Professional Writing Online 3.0 provides far more material than a conventional textbook and provides additional links to a wealth of related material on the World Wide Web. This unique site offers four primary points of entry, corresponding to the four major sections of content: Projects, Documents, Principles, and Resources. These sections are interlinked so students can move back and forth among them to find what they need in focusing on a particular topic.
The Projects section provides extended case studies and shorter exercises for use inside and outside the classroom.
The Documents section provides a wealth of real-world examples of a variety of document types.
The Principles section offers description and guidance on the topics that are integral to an applied writing course.
The Resources section provides teachers and students with additional materials that will be useful in the teaching and practicing of writing on the job.
