Jackson School of International Studies, UW. Contact: mecuw@uw.edu (Photo Source) JSIS / Political Science Writing Center Have you ever felt badly about asking your friends to look at yet ANOTHER of your papers? Do you wish you could find someone who could help you figure out what that prompt with eight questions is actually asking you to do? Have you received feedback on a paper that just doesn't make sense to you? Wouldn't it be great if there were a place that you could go and ask someone to help you with these and other questions you have about college-level writing? It turns out there is! The Political Science/Law Societies & Justice/Jackson School of International Studies Writing Center will open Wednesday, January 11th, at 9:30 am. We are located in Gowen 111 (to the left of the main Political Science office). We are open weekdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm (except for Fridays when we close at 2:30 pm). Any student taking a course listed or cross-listed in Political Science (POLS), Law Societies & Justice (LSJ), or the Jackson School of International Studies (SIS, EURO, RELIG, SISA, etc.) or in any of those majors is welcome to utilize our center. Our undergraduate tutors include students who have taken a broad array of courses in all of these disciplines. And all of them are paid to provide free help to you! Our goal at the center is to help you not only with the assignment in front of you, but also to develop your writing skills more generally. We work with students at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming about a prompt or assignment to discussing problem spots in a working draft to a final draft that just needs a second set of eyes. We can also provide feedback to students who are working on admissions letters to graduate school or application letters of any type. We encourage students to make appointments to ensure enough time with the tutors. Make an appointment for next week now by going to our website, http:// depts.washington.edu/pswrite: we post appointments two weeks in advance. Scheduling in advance ensures that you have a full 45 minutes, during which the tutor will focus solely on your work. Also, please note that our schedule fills up quickly, so signing up early is a good idea. Of course, “drop-ins are also welcome” but you run the risk of not getting in to see a tutor if they are booked. And if your paper is longer than 5 or 6 pages, please either email it by attachment to pswrite@u.washington.edu or drop it off in advance. In racks outside the Center, there are hard copy resources on writing, and all of them can also be found on our website. These short handouts cover diverse topics such as paper organization, constructing a sound thesis statement, final draft checklist, citing print sources, and punctuation. Submitted by —Allison D.
