ENG 5998 Spring 2020 Marr

Graduate students working on their thesis or dissertation can register for regularly-scheduled one-on-one Reading-Writing Center support at the same time and place, and with the same tutor every week. A total of 30, 60, or 90 minutes per week translates to 1, 2, or 3 credits. Writers who register have the advantage of a structured framework of support with accountability, including a tailored schedule agreed with the individual tutor, at any stage of their writing process; they also benefit from the RWC’s focus on the process of writing. An RWC tutor provides another pair of eyes in matters of organization, structure and flow, up to sentence level; we can also help with feedback on clarity, including academic language, the integration of research, and styles of citation; and we advise on techniques for getting started with writing, for maintaining your pace, and for becoming better proofreaders and editors of your own work, among other skills. Initial scheduling of regular appointments will be to suit each student’s schedule.
