An emphatic message from the Writing Center

(I have tried to retain the Writing Center's colors and font sizes here. I should add, in addition to their own emphatic remarks, that this class has been amazingly successful in helping my students get over the first barriers to successful literary analytical writing.)
The first of six Writing Center workshops on writing literary analysis papers begins tonight. Grab a spot and learn more about this type of writing in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere. And, did I mention, these workshops are free!

Literary Analysis: No Problem!

This two-session workshop will focus on writing a critical analysis paper for Intro to Lit. classes, including
  • organizational strategies particular to papers about literature
  • methods for doing a close reading
  • ways to make a comparison paper seamless
  • common mistakes made when writing critical analyses
Offered on these dates/times:
Thursdays, Sept. 14 & 21, 3:30-5:00 pm, Sec. 1
Tuesdays, Sept. 19 & 26, 3:30-5:00 pm, Sec. 2
