Applying criteria in essay writing classes has been acknowledged as an important teaching and learning reference of evaluation; however, many students at lower level classes are experiencing difficulty in internalizing the conventional writing criteria and standards fully. As the result, many students produced insufficient pieces of composition and they continue depending on instructors to assess their work. In an attempt to address the situation, several criteria that students commonly encountered difficulties were redefined as supplementary writing criteria applied in planning and developing their essay compositions. Two projects writing of Argumentative essay in Writing 3 class were assigned, observed and evaluated throughout process writing approach, steps and activities. A survey of students’ attitudes was conducted and administered after completion of the second writing project. The results of study show an increase in student’s writing performance demonstrated after the course. Students' products of writing (N=20) were developed particularly on the organizational aspects. Students’ perceptions about the learning system were reported to be high. Some positive feedback and constructive comments were given for better future writing instructions.
