The Department of History Teaching and Writing Center was founded in 1997 to help undergraduate students improve their history writing skills. Staffed by several graduate student advisors every semester, the Center offers all kinds of help.
We can:
Help you to brainstorm ideas for papers and presentations.
Help you to polish the rough ideas you already have.
Help you to organize outlines and papers.
Help you refine a draft.
Help you create a strong historical argument.
Help to demystify the ways that historians talk about history.
Help you turn in the best paper you possibly can.
To give you the best help we can, we ask that you provide the following:
A copy of your assignment sheet.
Any brainstorm diagrams, rough work, or writing you have completed for the project.
