The Learning Center Hosts Snack Sessions and Midterm Math Reviews

The Learning Center will be hosting short snack sessions geared towards helping students read, write and edit. These organic, interaction-based workshops last about 15 minutes and help students:

• find reputable sources
• quote sources effectively
• organize a thesis-driven essay
• format an essay using MLA
• overcome writer’s block
• self-edit their work using a checklist
