The Research Paper: What Students Have to Say (Instructional Note).

Connors, Patricia E.

Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v17 n3 p180-82 Oct 1990

Describes a freshman honors writing course in which students submit research papers and then write letters to the teacher about the experience. Identifies four concerns raised by students: (1) managing time; (2) managing the topic; (3) integrating sources; and (4) following a structure. Concludes that peer interaction is a valuable resource for student writers. (SG)
