It May Work," by Judy Hert, which describes the development and use of an essay test for writing placement at San Bernardino Valley College; (5) "A Peer Sounds Off," by Michael Seely, which offers reflections on first-year college students' composition skills; (6) "Student Writing without Tears," by Masha Z. Jewett, which describes the use of a journal as a pre-writing experience for remedial students; and (7) "Writing Skills Workshop: A Permanent Success," by Joyce Jaffee, which describes West Los Angeles College's writing workshop based on peer tutoring.
