The 101 Course Homepage: I strongly recommend you use the resources of the 101 Course Homepage. In particular, you will probably want to explore the Gradatorium, which has sample papers and an explanation of the 101 grading criteria, and the Tutorama, which has week-by-week self-directed help.

The Rutgers Writing Program Homepage: You should also check out the main Writing Program Homepage. You might want to explore the FAQs and you're also welcome to browse through the resources for teaching 101.
