Writing Advising
Writing Advising
The Departmental Writing Fellow (DWF) provides writing support for the Department’s undergraduate curriculum, working closely with the sophomore tutorial and senior thesis courses. The DWF offers discipline-specific writing advice, such as how to navigate the conventions of writing in psychology, as well as more general writing help. The DWF can provide support for all steps of the writing process, including brainstorming and formulating arguments, organizing thoughts and developing paper structure, and proofreading and editing drafts.
