The book concludes with a focus on conciseness, tone, possessives, capitalization, and the differences between MLA and APA formats. These essential topics not only enhance writing fluency but also adhere to the high standards of academic discourse. Interspersed throughout each chapter are exercises to give learners the practice they need to apply the principles in their own writing.
