Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

208 pages. Most writing is done under pressure. An executive has to produce a three-page position paper by tomorrow at nine. A department head suddenly has to write a o ne-page action memo by noon. A graduate student has a twenty-page research paper due in a week. Or a sophomore has to answer four essay questions for a three-ho ur exam. Indeed, most students and professionals write under pressure--limited t ime, limited space, a supervisor or instructor to please--yet few approach the t ask systematically.In Writing Under Pressure, Sanford Kaye provides a system --the Quick Writing Process (QWP)--that focuses on real-world writing tasks and shows how to produce the clearest, most honest, most powerful work possible unde r the constraints of time and space. A writing instructor with twenty-five year' s experience teaching students and professionals in business and government, Kay e shows writers how to budget time--how much time to allot to planning, generati ng material, drafting and polishing to get the meaning they are after--and how t o use this time efficiently. In addition, he discusses particular writing situat ions in which Qwp can be applied to make the most of what the writer knows. For instance, he shows how to take exams, revealing how instructors select questions and evaluate essays. He also considers writing in business and government, feat uring an insightful analysis of a memo by Colonel Oliver North that highlights o ne of the most important issues writers in business and government face: whether to write the truth as they see it or simply what their boss wants to hear. Kaye shows how to break through the stiffling organizational codes and write memos a nd position papers that count.___Most guides to writing ignore the constrain.
