In one affordable platform with four years of access, this new release of Connect Composition Essentials provides students, instructors, and program administrators with a comprehensive and flexible resource designed to help students meet outcomes in first-year composition courses. This resource offers instructors and administrators all the elements needed for the course, along with flexibility and the ability to integrate their own resources. For those who have tried OER resources in the past but find they need the support of publisher-curated material, Connect Composition Essentials is the perfect solution, offering much more than free handbook options.   

Connect Composition Essentials 4.0 includes the following powerful assignment types: 

Writing Assignment:  McGraw Hill's next generation writing assignment includes an automated grammar checker and originality detection. 

Adaptive Learning Assignment: A new, more accessible replacement for LearnSmart Achieve, the Adaptive Learning Assignment feature provides a learning experience that adapts to the needs of each learner through ongoing, formative assessments, feedback, and learning resources.  

Power of Process: This popular tool guides students to see writing and reading as a recursive process by having them respond to instructor-chosen strategies and questions.  The assignment is highly interactive, allowing students to assimilate strategies through written responses, as well as highlighting and annotating directly on the text.  Extremely flexible, Power of Process provides instructors with pre-loaded templates and the ability to add their own reading selections or choose from a bank of over 80 vetted, leveled texts.  

eBook / Handbook:  Easy to access, navigate, and use, the Handbook provides on-the-spot help with research, documentation, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics, as well support for writers whose first language is not English.  The handbook is also mobil- ready with McGraw Hill's Read Anywhere App.
