- Understand assignment criteria;
- Make sense of your source materials;
- Generate and organize your ideas;
- Develop a writing plan;
- Formulate a thesis statement;
- Develop your content;
- Create compelling introductions and conclusions;
- Learn how to properly quote and paraphrase information from sources;
- Learn how to properly cite your sources;
- Develop revision and editing strategies;
- Prepare your writing for publication/presentation.
In addition to providing Personal Peer Coaching, the Writing Center also offers the following resources:
- Mini-manuals providing basic format and citation information for APA and MLA styles
