Consider asking students to use the Writing Center We know from experience that faculty suggestions can exert a strong positive influence on writing center use. We hope you will let your students know about our services and that you will encourage them to make an appointment. To help your students learn about the writing center, a consultant can visit your class and do a short presentation introducing your students to the University Writing Center and the services we offer. To request a visit, you can contact me by phone (777-6381) or email (scott.baxter@und.edu) The Writing Center offers: * Trained consultants with diverse academic backgrounds * One-on-one sessions focused on generating and clarifying ideas, developing a first or second draft, revising, editing, or documenting research * One-half hour appointments available, free of charge, as often as needed * IBM and Mac computers so that students can work on their papers right in the Center * Guides to documentation, format, and grammar * The Writing Center is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday, 1 to 3 p.m. * To use Writing Center services, use our online scheduler http://www.und.edu/dept/wac/ -- Scott J.
