Are you currently getting the grade that you want in this class?

Today, I would like to give praise to the Writing Center and encourage my classmates to check it out. It really is a valuable asset on campus and all types of students (undergraduate, graduate and doctoral candidates) use the center. Whether you are struggling with writing assignments or just need to have another person proofread what you have written, this is where you can go. Students can make appointments in advance or you can show up and often, someone will be available for a walk-in session.

It has always been my experience that the tutors are friendly and very helpful. No, their job is not to write your paper. But if you need help with organizing your thoughts/paper, grammar, punctuation, formatting citations, etc., they are eager to help by explaining some of the finer points of writing well.

Like others, my time is precious too. Before I go to an appointment, I like to be as organized as possible. I usually read through what I have written and highlight anything that might be questionable. This way my sessions are short and action-packed. So if you need to but have avoided going, give these individuals a chance to show you what they can do. There is still time to improve your English 104 experience and grade.

Be safe and have a great Spring Break!
