The Making Sense series offers clear, concise guides to research and writing for students at all levels of undergraduate study. The volumes in the Making Sense series - covering the humanities, social sciences, life sciences, engineering, psychology, religious studies, and education - are intended for students in any undergraduate course with a research and writing component, but are especially appropriate for those at the first-year level. Intended for life science students, Making Sense in the Life Sciences provides detailed information on writing essays and lab reports; conducting research and using academic sources; grammar, punctuation, and usage; conducting presentations; using graphics; and more. This revised edition includes a complete CMS update; new discussions on writing for an audience, the importance of DOIs, and graphics in oral presentations; and more examples of key concepts.
