The material is created by students, for students. The goal is to have already successful student writers offer concrete, easy-to-understand tips on college writing. The intended audience are students in introductory college writing classes. The content is based on the students' own experience and expertise with writing, as well as ideas from the main text for the class, "The Imaginative Argument" by Frank L. Cioffi, and contains student-authored tips on idea creation, thesis statements, paragraphing, transitions, revising, evaluating and citing sources, and many other common concerns of first-year composition students. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=656908 This website has links to a dozen lessons that I created for a freshman composition class.
