Obtaining useful feedback on works in progress and incorporating it into revision. Establishing scholarly practices to maintain motivation and focus over months and years.

One-on-one consultations in the Writing Center for feedback on any writing project as well as assistance in developing a sustained practice. Focused instruction through both individual workshops and half-term graduate courses in Writing in Science and Engineering (WSE), for quantitative researchers, and Writing in Social Sciences and Humanities (WSSH), for qualitative researchers.
