A specific software, in itself, is rarely the solution to developing skills your students are lacking. The reason and rationale behind using a specific software is key and should be something that is written down and shared across staff and students so everyone is on the same path.

I am working on my own #education website for #college students, especially those who are writing their first college-level #essays. I am going to include things like #formatting and #grammar with an emphasis on making them college-appropriate.

What I'd like to know is what sort of questions or anxieties you had #writing for college classes when you first started out? This is a little research on my part for guides and topics.

Please share this if you can.
