Writing the Problem Solving Essay

Most of our lives are spent solving problems, some pretty simple, some pretty devastating. Everything from deciding how to solve the problem of what to wear for a special occasion to how to come up the money to pay our college tuition. This essay then has some very practical uses as students will go through the process of identifying the problem, examining the causes of the problem,  looking at the effects of the problem, and then coming up a sound solution.

For this assignment you will identify a problem that college students often have to face. To get started, here are two articles from Psychology Today that will get you started thinking about your freshman experience.

"How Should Parents Relate to Today's College Student"? Jan. 13, 2013

"Declining Student Resilience: A Serious Problem for Colleges" Sept. 22, 2015

Brainstorm a list of situations that college students face
 then add your suggestion in the comment box below.
