Designed for Students
The Nature of Writing is a writing guide for both high-school and university students. We provide 200+ lessons, 200+ videos, and 100+ quizzes, and we’re adding new content all the time.
Textbooks are expensive, but ours is not. We try to keep the price as low as possible, and you may receive a discount if your teacher has assigned the text. The typical discount is 10%, though if you’re a student at Concordia University of Edmonton (the author’s institution), you receive a 100% discount. Discounts are based on your email extension, so make sure you register using your school email.
Having your own student profile allows you to track your course progress and keep a record of your quiz results. In addition, if your teacher has chosen The Nature of Writing as a textbook, they may ask you to enroll in their course and share your results. Please watch the video above for a demo of what having your own profile looks like. If you need any help setting up an account, check out our quick guide.
