Friday Writing Workshops

During each fall and winter semester, the Writing Center offers a series of in-person Friday writing workshops for students. The topics include "Writing with Academic Integrity," "Using APA, 7th edition," and "Using MLA." These sessions will be given twice each day, from 11 am–12:30 pm and from 1–2:30 pm. Led by a Writing Center tutor, these sessions will give an overview of the topic, provide hands-on exercises and activities for the participants, and include small and large group discussions. All workshops will be held in the presentation room inside the Writing Center (250 Zahnow). These workshops are free, and there is no need to register in advance. Video recordings of these presentations, which include prompts for students to write answers to different citation questions, can be found below. Each video runs about 40 minutes.
