While many of you MALS students are taking the summer off from coursework, I know a handful of you are enrolled in summer courses. In many respects, summer sessions are fairly relaxed, with smaller classes, fewer students crowding the library, and a general contentedness that comes with sunshine and warm breezes.
But summer classes can be intense! With half the time you'd have during a full semester to finish the course (or less with a pre-summer course), you'll burn through topics and discussions at lightning speed. You may feel overwhelmed and rushed, especially when it comes to writing assignments.
If you're a MALS student taking summer courses or working on your thesis or capstone project, don't forget that you have a resourceful and supportive Online Writing Consultant! Don't worry that you're not taking a MALS core course - I regularly consult with students on papers for subject-field electives and independent studies too. I'll be online for office hours each Tuesday from 6 to 10 PM throughout the summer, or I'm available by appointment.
If you're not enrolled in courses this summer, but have questions about writing or interdisciplinary study in general, feel free to contact me too! I'll do my best to help you out.
So what are you waiting for? Get started on your summer!
(And don't forget to wear sunscreen)
