Michele Eodice and Pat McQueeney oversee the student and faculty writing services. Students, too, often feel mortal terror when given a writing assignment.
Writing is, quite simply, hard to do and do well.
Teachers and students alike feel heavy pressure when it comes to writing, no matter whether they are doing, grading or assigning it. For years KU has provided its faculty with help in integrating, designing and evaluating writing assignments through its unique Writing Consulting center. Now, heeding a call from faculty to provide similar support for students, it will open a student writing center at the Burge Union and satellite locations in the Kansas Union, Wescoe Hall, Strong Hall and Templin Hall. With the right questioning strategies, a tutor can find out what the problems are. We work from the assumption that talking about writing really works for students.
