Reviews"Who Says? provides a balanced, substantial approach to the fundamentals of writing an effective research paper. It should build confidence in even the most timid students by breaking the process down into discrete stages and readily achievable steps. The book emphasizes classical research techniques and innovative digital materials--something for everyone."--Cary D. Ser, Miami-Dade College "Who Says? presents fundamental information in a charming package. I highly recommend it for its relevance, clarity, brevity, and coverage, especially for a writing-intensive course. I like the way Holdstein and Aquiline present their points: clearly, cleanly, and effectively. Their use of cartoons, illustrations, and even a reference to The Beatles and the Obamas make this text relevant to older and younger students alike."--Moumin Manzoor Quazi, Tarleton State University, "Who Says? provides a balanced, substantial approach to the fundamentals of writing an effective research paper.
