The “Handouts and Links” page at the Writing Center at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill website (www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/index.html) offers helpful hints to beginning writers, whether they are composing basic business letters, application essays, scientific reports, grant proposals, or a whole host of other documents. The tips in the “Writing a Paper” section may prove especially useful since I found answers to many questions my students typically ask. There you’ll also find some points on the writing process (e.g., brainstorming, procrastination, writing anxiety). This website is definitely worth a look.
