Allison's Helpful Hints:
1. It has been helpful for me to have a Writing Fellow ask me:
2. If I have a research paper, it is helpful to discuss my ideas and then talk about what support/quotes would best fit my argument.
3. I like having my grammar corrected. When I use cliches or colloquial phrases, I like being given suggestions of alternatives.
4. Any suggestions of how to improve a paper are extremely helpful, and are infrequently given by professors.
