Write On!

There are so many free resources at NYU to help you succeed as a student. One of them is the writing center! 

In conjunction with the Expository Writing Program, the NYU Writing Center serves as a resource to all NYU students needing assistance with writing assignments (as long as they aren't exams). Students are able to receive one-on-one help with all stages of the writing process! 

Students are able to both schedule appointments and stop by for a walk-in appointment. Appointments are 40-45 minutes in duration and can be scheduled online here: https://nyu.mywconline.com/.

Here are some helpful tips from the Writing Center so you can be prepared:

• Bring two copies of your paper.
• If you are preparing a piece of writing for a specific assignment, bring the assignment.
• Bring any feedback that you have received on the piece from your professor or instructor(s).
• Bring your research items to the session. This includes notes, previous writings on the topic, and texts related to what you will be writing.

Undergrads: Tackle Writer's Block!

Throughout your undergraduate career you will write thousands of pages! Professors expect proper grammar, sentence structure, organized thoughts, proper punctuation, and a strong thesis statement among other things. So what can you do to improve your writing skills? Utilize one of the many FREE writing resources available at the University:

NYU Writing Center - Work with writing consultants at every stage of the writing process. But keep in mind:  the consultants at the writing center are not proofreaders, editors, ghostwriters, or graders of your paper. If you need help with sentence structure and grammar, they will address those rules with you. Come prepared with copies of your papers and information on assignments. The more prepared you are the more you will get out of the session. To make an appointment, click here.

University Learning Center - The CAS Learning Center offers free peer tutoring for Writing the Essay. Click here for more information. 

Is English your second language? The American Language Institute (ALI) through SCPS is a great resource providing English language instruction and evaluation. Click here for more information.

Proofreading Clinics - Writing involves strong proofreading skills too! Attend one of these free sessions to learn valuable proofreading strategies. Students are expected to bring a draft of their own writing. Tuesday's, 5pm ULC @UHALL. 

Don't be shy! Tackle that writer's block, brush up on your writing skills, or learn more about your writing style by using one of these services. You won't just need these skills during your undergraduate career but during your career as a health care professional too!

Best of luck writing all those papers this semester!
