Transitioning to College Writing

Imposter syndrome is real. If you're feeling unsure of your writing ability you've come to the right place! You can Schedule an introductory meeting with the COWS and clarify with a writing tutor just how different college writing is compared to what you've done thus far in your educational career. There are also many workshops, events, and talks that will be held throughout the semester that can really positively influence your writing ability! You may also consider signing up for some Courses in Writing & Speaking to get some extra ideas! You can also read through the new A-COW-demic journal for a sense of humanities and social science formatting.
