GovWrites

GovWrites is a joint venture of the Department of Government, the Harvard College Writing Program, and the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. The site, an extension of HarvardWrites, is designed to assist Government concentrators with their transition to the study of political science, and to acquaint them with the norms, expectations, and best practices of the discipline.
