Good luck on midterms everyone!

Reminder: there's a GPS Writing Workshop today from 4:45-5:45pm in Room 603! We'll review the prompt for your third GPS assignment and generate ideas on how to analyze claims and effectively provide counterclaims. Please bring your GPS readers, notes, prompts, and ideas!

Happy (or maybe not so happy...) second week of classes! The ARC has two workshops this week: Notetaking Strategies (TODAY) and Class Participation (WED). Check out the flyers below for more details!

Notes jumbled and too difficult to read? Spent 30 minutes trying to figure out what you wrote when you were half-asleep? Or losing track of the lecture as you furiously take notes?

Come to the ARC's Note-Taking Strategies workshop on September 11th from 12:30-1:30pm or 4:30-5:30pm in Room 603! Look forward to seeing you there!
