Writing Center Reminders

Filed under: Uncategorized — MeghanHollowell @ 12:00 am

Reminder: It’s always best to make an appointment long in advance of your paper’s due date. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons:

  • There’s only one of me, and I’m only in the Writing Center for about 20 hours each week. So around the time that NUR papers are due, I book up—and I book up fast! A lot of students are starting a trend of signing up for appointments just after they get their syllabi at the start of the semester. I think this is really smart! It ensures these students a spot to see me when the chaos ensues!
  • Most students aren’t satisfied with their paper after just one 30 minute appointment with me. For this reason, it is advisable to sign up for a couple of appointments when a major paper comes due–maybe one appointment per week for the two or three weeks that lead up to the paper’s due date. This leaves plenty of time and opportunity for the revision process.

 Reminder: I also review resumes!

 Reminder: There are several updates and exciting new additions to the Writing Center’s website this semester:

  • Updated hours of availability
  • Updated policies and procedures, which include a thorough description of online consultations
  • Lots of helpful APA resources and details about this semester’s APA workshop!
