1. Take a wellness break

2. Write with a plan
Students don’t need to go it alone when writing end-of-semester papers. The peer tutors at URI’s Writing Center are ready to work with students at whatever stage they’re at in the development of their papers. Take a look at how to write with a plan.
3. Read textbooks like a college professor
