What does the WORD Studio help students with?
Deciding on a thesis, developing ideas, strengthening organization and transitions, using and citing sources, deciding on research strategies, planning and rehearsing oral presentations, laying out visual projects (such as PowerPoints or handouts)—just to name a few areas. We are also happy to help students who want to improve their grammar and punctuation and can target specific problems they’re having in those areas; however, we do not see ourselves as “proofreaders” who are simply trying to “fix” students’ mistakes. We believe that if we simply copy-edit papers for students, they won’t really learn how to improve their writing themselves.
