Did you know that the library has lib guides available to support student researchers through different aspects of the research process? Look up guides by your discipline or by topic! #TWCthere4me#UniversityLibraries
We hire coaches from all over the university to create diversity of perspective, but that also leads to a wide variety of interests and discussions that take place behind our doors. You can be assured that you'll receive writing support from coaches who are pretty cool too.
At the Writing Center, we believe that writing is an act that is at is best when done in community. This is why we work together to support our clients, create resources, and develop an ever-evolving praxis—"Together we can create many ripples." #TWCthere4me
Are you in need of some library resources? Check out the University Libraries webpage in the APU website! They have some great resources available under the "Research Help" tab. #TWCthere4me#universitylibraries
Revision is a process of seeing with new eyes. Coaches can help you read through your work to see if there are new considerations or trains of thought that you can expand upon or rework. Reorganization can strengthen your paper when you see your ideas in a new light.#TWCthere4me
As we navigate this new year of unique experiences, we shall add memories, both good and bad, to our diaries, journals, social media, and minds. What is tough now will give us perspective in the future. What we accomplish now we can look back on with pride. We can do this!
If you're at the researching stage of the writing process, you can get support from the university libraries. If you are having difficulty finding information from a general search of the databases, you can try using the Advanced Search function. #TWCthere4me#TechTuesday
Although we are starting a new semester remotely, we can still be excited for the beginning of a school year. What are some of your remote learning goals? #TWCthere4me
Another client described their coach as knowledgeable, helpful, and optimistic. Writing coaches can relate to their clients because they too are continuing to learn and grow as writers. We are here to advise and cheer on our clients, providing perspective and encouragement.
While each Writing Center appointment focuses primarily on one text, the goal is not to ultimately change one text. Instead, we use each text to think about long-term lessons and skills. #TWCthere4me
Our coaches are trained to work with writing, but one additional benefit is the way they can build relationships with clients. It is wonderful to see all of your faces and to support you through each step of your academic journey.
As we come to the beginning of the school year, it is good to reflect on who we are as the Writing Center. As a coaching service, we're here to provide guidance while maintaining the writer's ownership of their project. To learn more, check out our site: https://t.co/5nnG7xCxm6
Persistence and perseverance will carry you through your writing project. When you feel like giving in or giving up, give yourself a small scale deadline before you take a break, whether that is 500 words or just one more page. #TWCthere4me
Professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. These are the words that one client used to describe their coach. Whether in person or online, undergraduate or staff, our coaches are trained to support you in your writing process. #TWCthere4me
