at the writing center, We can:
- help you navigate an assignment sheet.
- work with you to arrange your ideas in an effective outline.
- help you make the best use of any sources, and cite them appropriately.
- provide an "extra pair of eyes" for determining how effective an argument is, and how smoothly its pieces work together.
- talk with you about how to strengthen your prose style, beyond simply identifying common grammar mistakes.
- give you a person to talk through your ideas with, and help you develop strong and compelling claims from them.
- and more!
The Writing Center is open Sunday-Thursday from 1:30-4:00 and from 7:00-9:30.
We are located next to the café in the library, and you can find our tutors sitting by the windows, wearing nametags. You can always walk-in to the Center to get help, but you are encouraged to make an appointment to be sure someone is available.
