Harvard Writing Center is a great tool for anyone who is looking to improve or tweak their writing skills. The website offers many handouts that deal with all different aspects of writing. From thesis statements to formatting to grammar, the site touches upon a great deal of information. It even goes a step further and provides information on how to read assignments to assure a better work. Although it is very plain, it is very easy to use. All of the handouts are located on the first page of the website in order for trouble free access. The site even provides other links and the creators email address for even more insight. It was created in 2006 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, making it a credible site.
The Harvard Writing Center website would definitely be a good assistance for our class. The first handout that would be a great help would be the handout entitled "Developing a Thesis". With a strong thesis and topic the abstract will be much easier to write and be a much stronger work.
Another handout that would aid our abstract's would be the one titled "Outlining". With good outlining skills, it will be much easier to organize our information from the readings and on our topics so we can make a stronger argument for our cause.
A third handout that would aid us in the writing of our abstracts would be the "Summary" handout. With the ability to summarize information it will be much easier to take the important information from the readings and portray it in a clear and concise manner in our abstracts.
