Research Skills for College Writers: Chicago-Turabian Style Documentation What is Chicago or Turabian style, and what rules do writers have to follow to use it correctly? In this interactive workshop, we'll cite sources in a sample essay, giving you the skills to produce well-documented writing.
Grammar and Mechanics: Common Sentence-level Writing Errors
Learn to locate and correct common sentence-level errors, including fragments and run-on sentences.
Visually Speaking: Art and Argument
In this hands-on workshop, we'll begin by selecting a work of art at random from the Writing Center dossier. From there, we'll develop a workable thesis statement and supporting details for a fictional assignment. Learn the real meaning of the word essay ("to try").
Creative Approaches to Writing: The Drawing Board
If you think visually or need a new way to organize your thoughts as you write, this is the workshop for you. We'll work through a mock assignment, using lists, webs, clusters, Venn diagrams and other creative, graphic organizers to "map out" our course. Be ready to draw and to think about writing. Scratch paper is provided.
Visually Speaking: Writing an Artist Statement
In this interactive workshop, we'll provide basic guidelines for writing artist statements for different purposes, including a single work, a series or a whole philosophy. As a group, we'll use these principles to discuss examples of artist statements. What works and what doesn't?
Research Skills for College Writers: Presenting the (Written) Evidence
In this informative workshop, we'll use the metaphor of the courtroom to discuss how supports for a written argument serve as "evidence" to bolster the writer's "case." Includes a discussion of what this evidence can look like, as well as how to distinguish strong supports from weak ones.
Research Skills for College Writers: Concepts of Documentation and Plagiarism
We'll demystify documentation, working through some "close calls" with plagiarism and revealing the hows and whys of citing sources in research writing.
Grammar and Mechanics: Deconstructing Punctuation
We'll put sentences into manageable parts, then identify how punctuation provides a road map to readers and creates meaning. Writers curious about how to use punctuation will find this workshop especially helpful.
