    Do you receive instructor-feedback about “choppy” writing? Does this feedback include strange-sounding phrases like, “Needs coherence,” or “This needs to be smoother”? If so, this workshop will address the “bumpiness” that makes for rough reading and provide you with some transitioning tips that can make your writing as smooth as silk.

    This workshop covers the “why” and the “how” of the MLA documentation system and will break down each of its 3 elements so that you better understand how these parts work together to create a perfectly documented piece of writing. You are welcome to bring your own essays—and bring your questions! Our workshop is perfect for anyone in a writing class and anyone taking a course that requires documenting outside sources. Handouts will be available.
