Writing Center
The Writing Center at the University of the Pacific is a great resource for students at any stage in the writing process, from beginning to develop ideas to revising near-final drafts.
Visit the Writing Center website for the schedule of writing mentors this semester. When you go to the Writing Center to meet with a mentor, bring:
- the assignment your professor gave you
- your drafts and/or notes of the assignment
- any other course materials you think are relevant for the assignment
Purdue OWL
Another great writing resource is the Purdue University Online Writing Lab website. My favorite parts of the site are:
- APA, MLA, and Chicago citation format guides
- Resource on developing concise writing (and avoiding wordiness and repetition), including awesome exercises called the “Paramedic Method” to give your wording writing some first aid to make it more concise!
- Resource on improving sentence clarity.
