1. Write a draft of your Project 2 essay. This first draft should be at least two full pages, double spaced.

This assignment asks you to argue a position on student source use and effective writing using at least two of the readings assigned in this unit and your own experience as a college writer. This "position" doesn't need to offer a solution or take a definitive stance; it may, for example, argue for the two main challenges to students finding and using quality sources or for the central dilemma in student plagiarism.
