We here at the Writing Center love to help. We love discussing comma splices, gerunds, and split infinitives, but, most of all, we love helping you. You are what we're here for. However, over the years, we've discovered (or uncovered?) the best ways to utilize us a tool to improve your writing and your GPA.
1. DO NOT come in 5 – 30 minutes before your paper is due. Don’t even come in that day. Please make an appointment, and come in a few days or a week before it’s due. We might give you ideas on how to strengthen and develop your paper, and we’d probably like to see you again before it’s due.
2. DO NOT text, browse the internet, or talk on your phone while you’re with us. You might miss something very important to the paper or your own writing (plus – it’s just rude people).
3. DO have questions. Not only are your questions answered when you ask, but it makes us feel smart when we answer them.
4. DO make an appointment if you can. The JU Writing Center prioritizes by appointments and then it’s first come, first serve.
5. REALIZE that we might not catch every mistake in your paper, but if you listen to what we have to say when we point out areas you need to work on and give you tips on how to catch your own errors (like reading your paper aloud – it works!) then you can catch them on your own.
6. DO come in.
7. DO come often.
