In (First Person)2, Day and Eodice offer one of the few book-length studies of co-authoring in academic fields since Lunsford and Ede published theirs over a decade ago. The central research here involves in-depth interviews with 10 successful academic collaborators from a range of disciplines and settings. The interviews explore the narratives of these informants' experience -- what brought them to collaborate, what cognitive and logistical processes were involved as they worked together, what is the status of collaborated work in their field, and so on -- and situate these informants within the broader discussion of collaboration theory and research as it has been articulated over the last 10 years
This book, written by two nationally renowned scholars in the area of
ethics in higher education, is intended to help teachers and
administrators understand and handle problems of academic dishonesty.
Chock-full of practical advice, the book is divided into three parts.
Part I reviews the existing published literature about academic
dishonesty among college and university students and how faculty
members respond to the problem. Part II presents practical advice
designed to help college and university instructors and administrators
deal proactively and effectively with academic dishonesty. Part III
considers the broader question of academic integrity as a system-wide
issue within institutions of higher education.
These four tests closely replicate the level, content, and presentation of the IELTS, featuring Academic Reading and Academic Writing modules. Strategies and skills exercises provide guidance on how to approach each task.

Based on their many years of experience, the authors have structured
the book so as to build students? confidence in their own writing
ability whilst at the same time respecting conventional ideas of what
is, and what is not, acceptable in the academic domain. To reinforce
student learning, the material is presented using a wealth of clear
examples, hands-on tasks with answers, and logical sequences that build
on earlier chapters. The first two sections of the book address the
preparation and writing of assignments and research projects, while the
third provides a useful toolkit containing reference materials on areas
including punctuation, grammar and academic terminology.
