ACADEMIC RESOURCES HONORS WRITING CENTER Make an Appointment: pdx.mywconline.net/ The Honors Writing Center is the writing center specifically for Honors students, where we come as a community to talk about writing. Our peer-to-peer model takes some of the pressure off that process by creating a space that makes it easier to develop your own particular style and prose. Writing tutors are happy to work with you at any stage of the writing process—whether you have a complete draft or you're still in the brainstorming phase. ACADEMIC COACHING pdx.edu/learning-center/academic-coaching Academic coaching is a free support service available to all PSU students. Students work with coaches to create measurable plans to meet their academic goals. Goals may address school/life balance, active learning and studying strategies, organization, communication skills, how to access resources, and more. TUTORING pdx.edu/learning-center/tutoring Available for math and statistics, sciences, World Languages. All Learning Center tutors are PSU students. Tutors offer both drop-in hours and 30 minute sessions by appointment. Both require that you sign up with Penji to find tutors. Book appointments at least one day in advance.
