Writing Center

       
This second semester, I visited the writing center for my research project. I met with a writing fellow named Douglas who was very kind and knew exactly what he was doing. My main issue with my research paper is that it felt like it had an odd coherence. I had massive paragraphs that would take up almost two pages each. Douglas showed me that I had no reason to make these paragraphs as long as they were and suggested that I divide each one into two or three more paragraphs. After I did this, the paper already began to look much better. Douglas also recommended that I add in transitions to each paragraph to allow the reader to keep better track of what I was writing. Douglas was able to revise my paper in a kind and simple way. I am glad that he helped me because I got an A in the end.
