I've been so busy all week and have not been able to coordinate when the writing center is open and when I have time to go. I decided to go tonight, even though it was last minute, to get any final advice. I worked on my paper all week and changing things daily, so, I was hoping going to get help wouldn't be too much of and arduous task.
Going to the writing center was VERY beneficial. I didn't think it would help me as much as it did. We read my paper aloud and noticed a lot of little mistakes I had missed proof reading. We changed sentences I didn't like to be more concise and clear.
We also went through each paragraph and gave a brief summary and looked at the overall structure of the paper. We looked at the order of paragraphs and how they flow together. After looking at this I realized some of my paragraphs will go better together and moved some things around.
One of my main concerns was citations. We went through the new MLA guidelines and changed some of my citations. We also changed some of my in text citations that were incorrect. Overall it was very helpful to complete my paper, I expressed my concerns and we figured out how to fix them.
