Having Trouble with that Essay?

One of the most common complaints that college students have is writing.  Yes, writing.  Either they love it or they hate it.  There is really no in-between.  However, all students have to write papers in their college courses, and trust me, it only gets more intense the farther along students advance.  Major courses often require heavier, more intense papers. 
So how do students overcome their fear or hesitancy about writing papers? The simplest answer is to become so familiar with the process that it becomes like riding a bike.

One of the best resources for paper writing is actually online.  The University of Chicago produced an online guide called “Writing in College: A Short Guide to College Writing.”  Although the site is lengthy and includes a lot of resources, there are lots of items there that address concerns and questions professors commonly hear from their students.

Take a look at their site:
