“It was really helpful to just talk about my ideas out loud and get guidance on how to organize/incorporate them; I got some good general organization tips for keeping track of sources. It was also really nice to have such a relaxing environment to work in.”

 

“Emelia was fantastic and she provided both positive critique but also great positive feedback. She was very welcoming and she was great in explaining how I can improve my paper and clear about any confusion. Would 100% recommend to others.”

 

“I am so thrilled to feel like I really learned something that I will continue to use in my writing at SU and beyond- I can rewrite my thesis! It was super helpful to read the paper out loud with Emma and have the opportunity to rework the sticky bits. I am leaving feeling much more confident in the paper. Thank you Writing Center!”

 

“I came into my consultation, fearing that my writing would be judged. However, I was immediately welcomed, and my consultation ended up feeling more like a conversation than a critique. I was able to overcome my mental barrier and improve my writing in ways I would have never considered.”

 

“I appreciate that Mack was able to give me a non-psychology perspective on my paper. Because of this, he helped me identify areas that needed more explanation and regions that could be combined, allowing me to elaborate and emphasize what my professor would want to see.“

 

“I found it valuable to have someone who does not know the topic read my essay ask questions and make suggestions if something isn’t clear or making sense to ensure the reader can understand my essay.”

“Very few people can articulate improvements in such an encouraging and inspiring manner. I have never felt so safe sharing my writing, and I will absolutely return when I need help!”

 

“Emelia was amazing, super kind, super approachable, super knowledgable and someone who can approach a situation well. She provided feedback, both in critique but also positive reinforcement. I also liked how she opened the dialogue with “I’m not here to make bad comments or pick it apart (or something along those lines)”, instantly saying it is just feedback. It was great and I’m thankful for her help.”
