Driving, Not Ditching: A Writing Center Workshop on "How to Write Effectively to Enhance Learning and Avoid Plagiarism"
Do you procrastinate on writing assignments? Do you have false starts? ...spin your wheels? Do your sources seem unclear or even unfriendly - as if they don't want you to understand them? Are you unsure about how to work them into your writing? Are you afraid of plagiariing, but don't really understand how it's defined?
In this workshop, experienced, friendly writing center consultants walk you through each step in the academic writing process, from understanding your assignment to comprehending sources, dialoging with them in your writing, and citing them correctly. You will take away a reliable step-by-step method for finishing a paper on or before the deadline and feeling confident it is your own good work! The method is transferable to any writing project: you will use it in every college course you take. Bring questions, assignment instructions if you have them, and any other writing concern.
