Rutgers University: Getting an a on an English Paper

Written by a college professor, this site discusses five areas for students to work on to improve their writing. The areas are Thesis, Research, Close Reading, Style, and Mechanics. The author is clear and concise in his advice, and often uses humor to make his points. Well-done and thorough.
