Cool page!!! Starts off discussing the drastic difference between high school writing and college writing - as well as shifts in what your "teachers" expect of you. Then it goes into drafting, revising, etc. Neat
Kris
Another page that discusses writing better essays to get into the colleges of your choice.
Kris
Another short page but brings up good points, High school writing does not = college writing. As well as addressing the fact that you should meet with your prof no matter what your grade. Learning to increase your strengths and lessen your weaknesses in writing is a good thing.

what may have been an "A" paper in a high school English class is only "mediocre" or "average" when it's handed back by the college professor.

Understanding the purpose of an assignment is vital

Page isn't so much about writing papers for when you are in class, but writing paper to get you into the college you want to get into. Different site though, for the students who are graduating and plan on attending bigger universities?
Kris
A page that looks at your style and voice behind your paper.
Kris
This site is very short and to the point. Talk about enjoying the writing process, planning it, the stages ofyour writing... etc. Neat
Kris
Again, like the last site posted this site lists some helpful hints to improving your college writing. I especially like how they refer to college being a place where collaborating is learned... so true. Don't only lean on yourself but offer to proofread a friend's paper and ask them to proof read yours.

Writing is not always an easy process.
-
Writing is an important part of the college experience. Regardless of your major, you will have to write essays, lab reports, or journals.
-
Having others proofread your college writing can help you notice errors or awkward phrasing.
-
A large part of college is learning to collaborate.

-
You should be interested in why you receive a good grade just as much as you should be interested in why you receive a bad grade.
-
Proofreading is one of the easiest things that you can do to improve your grades on written assignments
simple site that gives 10 helpful hints for college writing. Doesn't look at technique, more or less helps you get prepared and keeps you guided towards your goal.

-
make every word count, write active sentences with active verbs.
-
Print it out on paper and then check it again the next day. You may be amazed at how many mistake you might find even after you thought the work was edited.

Neat site that breaks down commom mistakes and gives examples of right and wrong ways of writing. Looks at punctuation, top 10 mistakes and then ties it all together on one page. Pretty neat

Neat site: has powerpoints walking you through different writing topics, lessons to strengthen your learning and little quizzes to test your comprehension. Has lessons on all sorts of stuff: sentence problems, diction, pronoun usage, adverbs, etc.
Kris
Thought this was a neat link, has a few links to outside sources to help in citation, formating, grammar, etc.... but it also has a link for someone who doesn't use English as their first language, a foreign lang. dictionary. Kinda neat!
