Public Service Announcement! The Writing Studio at Reynolds is ready to work with you during finals week 🥰
It's about that time in the semester... Come hang out with us if you need some guidance/support/accountability/place to vent 👨🍳 🐀 🧠
Oxford commas are funny things. AP Style (the journalism style guide) refuses to use Oxford commas, but other style guides prefer them. Personally, we think they provide clarity, but we do understand that some writers are morally opposed. When you're writing, just pick a side!
Em dashes are those nice, longer lines you see. They can often provide emphasis! In addition to that, em dashes can act as a great alternative to other punctuation, which can give your writing some flair. Don't forget: an em dash is NOT the same as a hyphen!
it's a good day to be kind to yourself. We've all had those semesters (some of us have even had full years like that). You're doing your best, and that's pretty cool!
Hyphens and dashes are NOT the same thing (no matter what my mother thinks). Hyphens connect words. Save this post and refer to it later to make sure that your papers are punctuated correctly!
One of our volunteer writing consultants really likes the variety of writing that she works on! Here's your reminder to take any writing you need help with (not just English papers!) to the Writing Studio 🥰
School is stressful--we definitely know that! If you ever need a space to recharge, check out our Mindfulness rooms. We have one at each location!
It's getting to that point in the semester where you might want to check out some more information about academic writing. Check out our website for some excellent resources (as well as all kinds of other helpful stuff!) 🙂
We see a lot of students using comma splices in their writing, and this is a grammatical error a lot of professors pay attention to. If you've ever seen "comma splice" written on your papers, here's what's going on--and how you can fix it!
