[Factc] Teaching Research & Writing During the Pandemic

[Cassandra Baker]

Hi Lisa

My name is Dr. Cassandra Baker and I would like to introduce my first 
textbook called: *Key Tools of Writing and Research: A Guide for the 
Student Writer*.  The textbook was published in January 2020 by 
Kendall-Hunt Publishing.  Key Tools of Writing is written in APA format and 
was written for the social science student.  The book has excellent 
ancillary material to support writing activities such as test banks, 
handouts, videos, flashcards, and PowerPoints.  Below you will find the 
website to the publisher and to the book website.    I know that your 
meeting has already passed, but this is a great book that has help my 
students at the technical college level where I work in the school of 
business.  All that I ask is please look at my book (faculty review copy) 
and spread the word at your college or university.
