If you need help writing your paper, get in touch with the SMFA Writing Studio. They can provide anything from an in-depth consultation on how to structure your ideas to a quick grammatical edit.
Writing Studio hours are split between the private Mission Hill Building Writing Studio and the SMFA Library. There are two options for accessing Writing Studio assistance:
Open Hours
Open hours are available every Monday through Thursday during the fall 2014 semester. To view schedule, you will need to add this calendar to your SMFA Google account.
Make an Appointment
To make an appointment, go here and select a specific date and time from the available options.
When scheduling an appointment, be sure to indicate whether you prefer to meet at Mission Hill or at the SMFA Library.
Whenever you use an outside resource in your work-- whether you are quoting, referring, or appropriating-- you must give credit. You should cite all books, articles, websites, images, etc. that inform your work, just as you would want others to give credit to what you create. Properly formatted citations in an accepted style (MLA, Chicago, etc.) are essential to maintaining artistic and scholarly conversations.
