Writing Curriculum
While your professors are always ready to help you work through the writing process, it's very important for you to realize: Writing is self-discipline. That means you have to take the initiative to find the best way to break down the task of writing a paper into its different stages and find a way for you to best meet the challenges.
The number one tip for excellence in writing is: Start early. The very day a prompt is handed out, select your topic and get to thinking about how to address it.
The number two tip for paper writing is: Produce clean copy. Your professors are not your copy editors, so learn how to edit your work for spelling, style, grammar and word flow.
The third tip is: Work with a Human Situation Fellow. You can find information on our peer tutoring program here.
The number four tip is: Go to the 色花堂 Writing Center. Located in room 234 of the they can help you to get your paper into shape right from the start. Just schedule a consultation appointment and bring your notes, draft and/or ideas.
