About Us: |
||
| The History Writing Center offers half-hour, individual appointments with graduate student tutors who are well versed in the special demands of writing history papers. We invite students to use the Writing Center at any stage in the composition process, from thesis development through multiple drafts of an essay. | ||
| Making Appointments: | ||
Email: hwc@u.washington.edu Phone: 206-543-5692 Office: Smith 210C |
||
| If at all possible students should make advance appointments, especially as the quarter progresses. If you are unable to keep an appointment, please cancel it as soon as possible, so that another student can use the Center at that time. If a student is more than five minutes late (without prior arrangement), that appointment will be given to anyone who might be waiting. | ||
Dropping off Drafts: |
||
It is best to drop off drafts, especially of papers more than 5 pages, at least 24 hours before an appointment. Deliver draft to Smith 210C (If the office is closed, slide your paper under the door.Be sure to put your name, appointment date & time on it.) |
||
Friendly Reminders: |
||
| Students are encouraged to come in as early in the writing process as possible. Often, a full half hour can easily be spent critiquing and developing a thesis statement or introductory paragraph. Coming in early will help ensure that an appointment will be available and may reduce the amount of major revision required later in the writing process. | ||
| When you come to visit us please keep in mind that we are not a copyediting or proofreading service. We are here to assist you in developing skills in critical analysis and to enhance your argument. We do not grade assignments or promise perfection. Also, please remember the Center is open to students currently enrolled in History Department courses. Our dedicated staff assists students with writing assignments required for History classes. For help with writing projects for classes in other departments, please seek assistance at the appropriate writing center. A list of campus centers is located at: UWrite. | ||
