Writing can be hard, overwhelming, and intimidating-but it's something you can't avoid. 

What are professors really looking for? Are there practical steps you can follow to reach that goal? More importantly, how can you master the skills to turn straw into gold within a limited time? 

Dr. Yi Zhu is happy to guide you on that journey. Drawing on his extensive experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate students, as well as his own success in multiple doctoral-level courses, Dr. Zhu will share the secrets to writing high-quality academic papers.
 

You'll learn techniques to check your logic flow and spot hidden errors. You'll also be introduced to resources that help you format your essay professionally. After this session, you should know how to submit an essay that meets your course standards.
 

Sometimes, taking a small risk leads to big progress. Why not register and give it a try?
