GRAMMAR DROP-IN

All MCC students, staff, and faculty are welcome to drop in during these scheduled times near Mid-Terms and Finals (no appointment necessary) to ask questions about grammar and punctuation. A Writing Center consultant will be available to provide the following:

· Answers to questions about grammar rules that have always stumped you (is is "lie" or "lay"? was I "affected" or "effected"? etc.)

· Explanations of how to identify and correct concerns with grammar or punctuation in a short piece of your own writing

Assistance with spelling and vocabulary
A clearer understanding of the logic behind grammar and punctuation rules

We invite writers seeking an in-depth consultation regarding a full draft of a document to make an appointment in the Writing Center: http://mccneb.mywconline.com
