Make Your Writing Assignment More Effective

While not a criminal justice topic, per se, this

was too good a resource not to share with

you.

The Writing Center at Harvard University

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~wricntr/resources.html

The Writing Center at Harvard University is perhaps the

oldest formal writing center at an American university,

and their complementary website presents a valuable trove

of instructional handouts for writers young and old.

On this page, visitors will find over a dozen helpful

handouts with titles such as "How to Read an Assignment",

"Essay Structure", "Developing a Thesis", "Summary", and

"Revising the Draft

Each piece is written in clear prose, and the advice offered is

sound and practical. Also, visitors should note that the site

also includes a link to Harvard's guide to citation and

integration of sources, "Writing with Sources", and a selection of

links to other related writing style guides.
