No comments
This month on the blog, we're spotlighting Walden studentsstaff, alumni, Writing Center services, and faculty.

At the Writing Center, we're continuously evaluating and creating services to better meet student needs. Read on for some of our exciting new offerings!

Writing Groups

For undergraduate students; master's students; and doctoral students working on coursework, the premise, or the prospectus
We're kicking off another round of Google+ writing groups with some changes based on your suggestions. March writing groups will take place in Google+ and will be small, private spaces for you to peer review and/or discuss your writing challenges and strategies with fellow students. If you're a current Walden student, sign up for a March writing group here.

For doctoral students working on or beyond the proposal
Doctoral students who have started or finished their capstone proposals have the chance to join the Walden Capstone Writing Community and sign up to be part of a small, private writing group with other doctoral students. Visit this page to learn more about joining the community, and then stay tuned for more information about the writing groups.

Live document review

For members of the Walden Capstone Writing Community
Members of the Walden Capstone Writing Community are invited to attend a live document review on Thursday, February 26. An editor will review a volunteer doctoral capstone student's draft, and other members of the community are invited to watch. Visit the community for more information about these types of meet-ups. If you're a doctoral student interested in joining the community, start here.

Two paper review appointments per week

For undergraduate students; master's students; and doctoral students working on coursework, the premise, or the prospectus 
Paper reviews are not a new service, but we want to shine a spotlight on a feature new this year: Students can schedule two appointments per week. You can make appointments for two different assignments, or you can make an appointment for a draft of your paper and then submit your revision for your second appointment. Just remember to apply feedback you've received between appointments, whether you have one or two appointments in a week. 

Grammar modules

For everyone!
Our self-paced grammar modules are now up on our new website! Check them out here. The  diagnostic quiz is a great way for you to identify areas of English grammar that you can improve, and then the modules can help you work on strengthening those particular grammar skills.
