Or maybe you just need some feedback on your writing, and don\u2019t know who to turn to since you work full-time and can only work on your school assignments in the evenings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kat Greene, interim director of The Writing Center at Ball State, has you covered on all three fronts.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>About the Writing Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Writing Center at Ball State offers free, online tutoring sessions for all writers, including evening appointments for those writers working full-time jobs during the day,\u201d she says, so you don\u2019t need to worry about cost or prohibitive hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">They offer three types of appointments: planning, feedback, and accountability, and they\u2019re basically exactly what they sound like. Planning sessions help you to brainstorm and plan out that big project; feedback sessions allow you to work one-on-one with a tutor for guidance and suggestions, and accountability sessions are like free time to just set aside and write.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>More Than Just Appointments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Writing Center does more than just appointments, though. They also partner with Ball State Online each semester to host presentations about academic writing, geared toward online students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Topics usually covered in these presentations include good writing habits and strategies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">They also host graduate writing events, called \u201cWrite On!\u201d, which are meant to help graduate writers with longer projects stay motivated mid-semester. This semester\u2019s events will be from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 15 and 9-11 a.m. Thursday, March 16.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be on the lookout for more information coming on social media and emails in late February. \u00a0You can follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bsuwritingcenter\">The Writing Center at Ball State on Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/writing_center_at_ball_state\/\">@writing_center_at_Ball_State on Instagram,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bsuwrites\">@bsuwrites on Twitter.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>How to Make An Appointment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To make an appointment with The Writing Center, says Greene, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/centersandinstitutes\/writingcenter\">bsu.edu\/writingcenter<\/a> and click the link at the top of the page. This takes you to their online scheduler, WCOnline. You can use your Ball State University username and password to sign in and see their schedules: the Robert Bell location for weekday appointments and Bracken Library for evenings. From there, you can see the available appointment times. Click on the time and tutor you are interested in and fill out the registration form. This is where you can select an online or face-to-face session.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you make an online appointment, the tutor will reach out via email at the time of the appointment to share a Zoom link and\/or Google Doc link to start the session.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Building Community Through Writing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, The Writing Center is just a good place to build community, particularly for online students. \u201cIt\u2019s [a] way for [students] to connect with other students and writers outside of their classes,\u201d notes Greene, so if you\u2019re searching for fellow writers out there, The Writing Center might be a good way to find them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI love that The Writing Center is a community of writers who support writers,\u201d says Greene, who\u2019s used The Writing Center herself, even as its interim director, for help with large projects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe build relationships with students, faculty, and staff across campus. The Writing Center is a place for everyone. I think the biggest misconception about The Writing Center is that it is only for students who are struggling, and that\u2019s just not true. We are here to support all writers. That\u2019s what I love about being involved with The Writing Center.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all been there\u2014you\u2019ve got a writing assignment due for an important class, and you\u2019re absolutely stuck on where to start, or you\u2019re struggling with keeping yourself accountable and just getting your butt in a chair and getting the work done.
