ENG111/112 Problem Solution Paper: Problem Solution intro

ENG111/112

The Problem Solution Paper

In a problem solution essay, your task is to analyze a problem and propose a method for solving it. The problem you choose to analyze should be one that offers some challenges but is still possible to resolve; therefore, writing a problem solution paper about world peace would not be a great idea.

When writing this paper for your ENG111/112 class, please refer to your course syllabus and writing assignment handouts. This research guide is merely an overview that will give you some ideas on how to organize, structure, and find research for your paper. This guide will walk you through potential problem solution topics and useful library resources to research  your problem solution proposal.
