Abstract | Students who enter college dreading their "required" courses are understandably skeptical of their ability to succeed in first-year writing. Their lack of preparation added to their skepticism results in students with too little confidence that their writing will ever resemble the models used in textbooks. As a tool of engagement, student-authored essays provide writing models students readily identify with, thereby promoting confidence. This analysis examines student perceptions of the student-authored essay as a writing tool and the implications of its use to improve learning outcomes in first-year writing courses. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided). |
