Writing Today is designed to teach you the genres and rhetorical strategies you will need to succeed in your advanced college courses, your career and your civic life. Current with evolving cultural and technological trends, the text will prepare you for the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), working in a multimodal environment (e.g., composing electronic texts and using visual and audio tools) and more. The authors provide clear instruction and visual cues with annotated models and practice to help you master key writing skills. The 5th Edition reflects the emergence of AI tools, such as ChatGPT, including guidance on ethically using AI to assist with writing. Updates include enhanced coverage of citing sources, new readings and writing samples, and a new Part 3 focused on transferring communication skills from college to the workplace.
