The Assignment Lab
|
If you are enrolled in a writing intensive section or an Honors or Honors contract
course, you are eligible to work with one of the Writing Fellows, advanced Ph.D. candidates
from the CUNY Graduate Center in what we call, The Assignment Lab.
A laboratory is a place where scientists engage in rigorous inquiry, and we hope
you will take advantage of the Assignment Lab in that spirit, as a place to ask tough
questions.
- You might start with your understanding of the assignment: Is this what the teacher
wants? Am I on the right track? Is there anything else I m supposed to do?
- If you have a draft, you might ask the Fellow to read it with you, out loud. Are
there parts where a reader might become confused or get lost? Ask the Fellow to function
as an ideal reader and to point out sections that might need more work.
- The Assignment Lab is not a fix my paper kind of place, but if you know you have
grammar problems but are not sure how to correct them, do feel free to ask for that
kind of feedback, too.
It's probably most effective to get help in person, but if you really don t have the
time, you may also email your paper to a Writing Fellow at: KCCAssignmentLab@gmail.com. Be sure to include the assignment and a note in which you let the Fellow know what
your questions are.
