Introduction
In the Writing module, you completed an essay where you identified a problem for a particular category of college students as they attempted to complete college, and suggested solutions for that problem.
You will work with your tutors at the Enhancement Center to identify what kind of outside sources will be appropriate for your needs, and where to add source material into your essay.
