Its that time of the year again, the dreaded finals week. Long nights and endless hours of studying will be fueled by a caffeine overload, but Hofstra has something to make your time a little easier. Heard of the Writing Center?
Located in room 102 of Mason Hall, the Writing Center is run by students who are graduates and undergraduates, as well as faculty members. Their writing services are individualized per person to ensure your specific needs are met.
The confidential tutoring covers all majors and minors, assisting in test preparation and writing assignments.
“I remember first finding out about the writing center at the school when I took my first tour. Right then and there I knew that I would have to remember that was available for me. Throughout most of my undergrad I didn’t ever take advantage of it because I felt I was doing fine without it. This year is my senior year and I started going there for more advanced assignments and I definitely regret waiting so long!” said Alexandra Bernsen, about her experience there.
While some do use the Writing Center, it is a very under-utilized tool. The faculty and students provide so much help to students and give a lot of effort to help them succeed.
Another student Mary Young said, “I started using the writing lab when the grades I was receiving weren’t making me helpful. My professor gave me the opportunity to revise an assignment and I didn’t know the first thing to do to improve my grade. I worked with a grad student who really helped me. Not only did he help me correct my mistakes, but he also taught me what I did wrong.”
