Writing and research can be enormously challenging. The research process is rarely linear.   It takes many side trips for adequate researching, reshaping, comprehension, and coherent expression.   Therefore, why not solicit the help of experts?  Experts include your professors, the university librarians, and your writing instructors.  Your professors can assist you in developing your research topic and your original analysis.  Librarians can help you with topic development and evaluating resources as well as in the research, citation, and documentation process.  Writing instructors can assist you in developing your "voice." The University wants you to succeed.  Take advantage of all the resources that will make you a better scholar.
