Some Writing Center classes meet just a single time; others meet once a week for three to six weeks.

Each class will give you the chance to pick up valuable writing skills in a supportive, small-group environment.

These short-term classes are not, however, substitutes for regular semester-long writing courses.

They do not provide the sustained practice with writing and the critical response that good writing courses do.

Rather, they briefly review general principles about writing and give students opportunities to read and discuss models of particular types of academic writing.
