WRITING IN THE DISCIPLINES

The Writing Center seeks to build knowledge and confidence in students by reaching out to them in their environments. In order to meet students where they are, Writing Center staff can arrange special projects within the disciplines whereby staff meet in small group workshops to consult with students on ongoing projects. Follow the link to read more information about the Writing Center's most recent project in conjunction with the Department of Biology. If you are interested in coordinating a special project with the Writing Center, please contact the Director, Elisabeth Alford.

The Writing Center appreciates the fact that writing conventions vary across the disciplines. In the interest of providing the most effective service to students, faculty, and staff in the disciplines, the Writing Center is developing discipline-specifc pages to guide writers through an analysis of what is expected of them in the different writing environments they may encounter. Follow the link to read an overview of what it means to write in the disciplines and to learn more about the conventions that may apply to your own project.
