NYUCN Partners With SCPS Writing Tutoring Services!

We have an exciting new initiative to announce for our College of Nursing graduate (MS, DNP, and PhD) students! Through collaboration with NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS), College of Nursing graduate students now have access to free tutoring to improve writing skills!

Even graduate students need help with writing papers.  The craft of writing does not come easy to everyone, so whether you've been out of school for a while and need to brush up on your writing , or have always struggled with putting your thoughts down on paper - this free service will help you. Individual tutoring sessions are matched to your availability including evening and weekend hours.

To set up an appointment call: 212.992.9055.  Identify yourself as a graduate nursing student, provide your name, student ID number and your availability.  Evening and weekend hours are an option. At this point only appointments made by phone will be taken.  In the very near future there will be a convenient online scheduling system. 

Location: McGhee Tutoring Services 7E 12^th Street, 6^th Floor

Things to keep in mind:

• Tutors are not editors, proofreaders, graders, etc. They will provide feedback on your writing style, and in cases where grammar or sentence structure need to be addressed, they will work with you on those rules.

• Schedule appointments ahead of time so you can make any necessary changes to your work and turn assignments in on time.

• If you're working on a draft, bring two copies. One for you, one for the tutor.

• Come prepared with questions, information about a particular assignment, copies of a paper with teacher comments, any related notes or research. 

• Students are allowed a maximum of 5 hours of tutoring per semester. 

• Open to graduate students only.

If you have any specific questions about writing skills tutoring please email Mcghee.tutoring@nyu.edu. Additional information is also available on the Academic Advising Tutoring Program Website. Be sure to review the tab for graduate students! 

NYU Resources Update: The Academic Resource Center (ARC)

As an update to the post from October 2011, The Office of Academic Advising wanted to encourage you to get familiar with your campus resources. The Academic Resource Center is a great campus space on the square! Now that the semester is upon us you should check out the new ARC website!

The New York University Academic Resource Center offers excellent services to the Traditional and Transfer undergraduate populations. Some of which include:

• Cross School Advising
• Study Spaces
• Argo Tea Cafe
• Tutoring (in conjunction with the University Learning Center)

As a nursing student, you should always communicate with the Office of Academic Advising and Learning Development if you are having and issue. We work very closely with the ARC and will be able to make a referral if needed. When you have academic navigation questions and you are not sure where to go, you may need to try the ARC! From the SMART Bar to the peer tutoring services, the academic assistance you need, in addition to the services we offer here, may be at 18 Washington Place.

Feel free to reach out to Donald Brown, Academic Advisor, with any of your ARC related inquiries.

Campus Resources: The Inside Scoop to Writing Right!

Did you know that NYU's College of Arts and Science maintains a 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! You should think of them as your writing consultants.

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: http://www.rich15.com/nyu/

If you're thinking about scheduling you first appointment, 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.

The semester is approaching quickly. Identify your resources and plan to use them! It is never too soon to get a head start on writing well.
