I am happy to announce that space has been dedicated for undergraduate studying in the computer lab! When we added five computers to the lab in September we removed the study space in the center of the room, but still wanted to provide a study space away from the computers. We have been able to move equipment out of the library section (towards the kitchen) and have put tables in. This space is now yours to use for studying!!
Don't forget, tomorrow is Veteran's Day so the University will be closed. Here are some events happening at UW to honor our Veterans: http://depts.washington.edu/memorial/veterans-day-open-houses/
Winter Registration: Many of you are registering for classes this week or next. Please stop in to see me if you have questions about what you should be registering for. If you need help finding a VLPA, I&S or Writing class, try using the General Education Requirement Search: http://www.washington.edu/students/timeschd/genedinq.html
Campus Writing Center: Did you know we have several writing centers on campus? There is one at Odegaard (http://depts.washington.edu/owrc/), one at CLUE (http://depts.washington.edu/clue/dropintutor_writing.php) and another at the Instruction Center (http://depts.washington.edu/ic/graphics/writing.php?style=graphics). Some tips about the writing center: make an appointment ahead of time (Odegaard in particular), bring anything you have that will help the tutor understand what you're trying to write, and you can go before you've even started writing to help brainstorm ideas. I went to check out Odegaard Writing Center last night and thought the tutor (Craig) was helpful, listened to my concerns about writing and had very insightful comments. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Study Smarter Workshops: The counseling center offers some great seminars on time management/procrastination and test anxiety/stress reduction. I sat in on the test anxiety/stress reduction workshop and was one of two people there! The student in the workshop essentially had a personal session with a counselor to address specific concerns about test taking. Check out the workshops offered here: http://depts.washington.edu/counsels/services/workshops/workshopstudy.html Don't have time to go to a workshop?
