Going to the Source: Research Paper Writing Experience.
Rooney, Theresa
Research and Teaching in Developmental Education, v16 n2 p25-33 Spr 2000
First years students' experiences and knowledge about research paper writing were studied to investigate how strongly the process writing movement has influenced instructional practice, and how appropriately students have been prepared for their college experience. Finds that many of the students arrived at college without the experience of writing even one extensive research paper. Contains 16 references. (VWC)
