All of us at UMW are taking part in the great scholarly conversation.  One of your goals as a student is to make your own contribution to that conversation – to use the knowledge you gain from others to say something new, something that adds your thoughts to the conversation.  Every project isn’t a research paper.  Think about the most effective way to present the information you have found.  Perhaps an infographic or a meme will do the best job of getting your point across.  Or maybe you need to create a blog post that your fellow students will comment on. By being a digitally fluent student, you will be able to use digital tools to clearly communicate your ideas and collaborate with others.

The Speaking and Writing Center can help you . . .

• Brainstorm a paper topic
• Review a paper in progress
• Help create accurate citations
• Understand and learn to detect grammar problems
• Eliminate punctuation errors
• Help develop a presentation
• Help you rehearse a presentation

The Digital Knowledge Center provides peer tutoring to all University students on digital projects and assignments. Students can schedule one-on-one or small group tutorials with a trained peer tutor on a variety of subjects relating to common systems, technologies, and tools used in courses at UMW. Students interested in sitting down with a tutor to discuss an extra-curricular project are also welcome to schedule appointments.
