Center for Writing, Learning, & Teaching
Finish Strong at the Writing Marathon
On the evenings before the last two days of classes, there's no need to make an appointment to get last-minute feedback on your writing assignments. May 6 and 7, writing advisors will be available to meet with you on a first-come, first-served basis from 6-10 p.m. Come stop by, eat some snacks, and finish your end-of-semester writing assignments with confidence!
The mission of the Center for Writing, Learning, and Teaching is to support faculty in their teaching and to provide opportunities for all Puget Sound students to achieve their academic goals.
Our services include
-
Writing Advisors who are selected through a rigorous application process and who are specially trained to help students get started on a paper, organize their thoughts, or improve their editing skills.
- Peer Tutors in a wide range of subjects who are nominated by professors in their disciplines and who are specially trained to help students individually or in small groups.
- Accommodations for students with disabilities.
-
Classes that help students improve their reading efficiency.
