Writing Process

The Writing Process is essential to a logically-organized and well-thought-out writing. The STRUCTURE of an essay is as important as the paper FORMAT and source CITATIONS. Be sure to follow the DRAFTING content for proper STRUCTURE & STYLE.

Be sure to use the 3-part-layout in all of your writing. See THIS LINK for help with the 3-part-layout in DBs, essays, and paragraphs.

Once you know exactly what is expected of you for an assignment, you will better succeed. It is also VERY important to know HOW your instructor will be assessing your writing. Don't Procrastinate!
