Coming Spring 2012:

Writing Workshop: Series IV

This Spring, the Learning Center presents the fourth part of our popular 30 Minute Workshop series. In Fall 2011, students learned grammar concepts such as constructing sentences and placing punctation. Now students can build on those concepts in order to improve their spelling, use of commas, and understanding quoting in academic papers. Such popular topics as transitions and thesis development will also be discussed. These workshops are perfect for students in any department, at any point in their college career. We hope to see you there! 

*All workshops take place Tuesday evenings from 7-7:30pm in the Learning Center*
