Strategies For Empirical Research In Writing

by Mary Sue MacNealy

Overview

Strategies for Empirical Research in Writing began as a series of handouts prepared by Dr. Mary Sue MacNealy for her graduate students in the English Department at the University of Memphis. Its user-friendly explanations (including some light-hearted, even goofy, examples) of complicated issues in designing empirical research in composition and technical writing has helped students in every state in the Union understand, design, conduct, and evaluate the effectiveness of empirical research projects such as experiments, case studies, ethnographies, discourse analyses, as well as teacher and feminist research projects. And now the proceeds from sales of the book help adult students learn to read and write English by providing teaching materials for volunteer tutors in north-central Texas.
