Rezensionen / Stimmen
I've used this handbook for the past several years because it simply gets the job done in preparing students for the changing media industry. Watch Your Words explains the finer points of grammar in a clear and concise manner, equipping journalists with the essential tools to produce carefully written and edited content. -- Michael A. Deas, Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University Watch Your Words is a practical review of grammar, punctuation and language usage for both students and working journalists. It's a handy resource no matter what you're writing. I look forward to recommending this essential guide to my students. -- Sandy Ellis, University of Wisconsin, River Falls This book is a versatile, valuable teaching tool that concentrates a large number of language lessons in a small number of pages. The self-tests are especially useful as they allow students to work at their own pace to improve their skills. -- Miles Maguire, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh
