2) Acquiring writing skills is a lengthy (even life-long) process. You are not going to see substantial improvement in most of your students. You are launching them on a 4-year journey, and it's the folks who teach the upper-level courses who will see the fruits of your intro-level course efforts.
Your job is to introduce them to the basics (perhaps of genre, perhaps of argumentation, perhaps of citation styles -- I don't know what your particular department mandates). That's creating a foundation for future learning through the practice of writing, and it is a Really Important Job. So hang in there. And I hope I see you over at The Chron.
