Material Detail

'Perhaps one of the greatest challenges to overcome in teaching first-year students is the fact that they come from infinite backgrounds and experiences. No two are exactly alike in their academic histories or personal strengths and weaknesses.

The concept behind the book was to share with you some of the Writing Center’s strategies for working with writers, especially those useful with first-year writers. These strategies have evolved over the years and have come from many different sources—some were garnered from our texts, others from experience, both ours and our clients. We did not want to duplicate other, more expansive books; instead, we wanted to share only the most essential information, keeping it practical, focused, easy to access, and most of all brief, since we know that you are already devoting a good deal of time to teaching your course.'
