Writing Support Transcript

Video Transcript

Welcome Online MSW Students.

I’m Betsy Williams, here to support your writing.

Strong writing and communication skills are key to your academic success and to your professional career. I can meet with you, online, about your papers, presentations, eportfolios, and almost any writing task (except exams.)

Writing is a process. I am happy to meet with you at any point in that process. We can discuss planning and outlining, or you can bring a rough draft, or a near-final draft. Professionals get feedback on their writing. You can too.

I have created a website for you, with helpful resources on good writing and on specific writing tasks. I encourage you to explore these resources. Please be sure to view the page on academic integrity and avoiding plagiarism.

Academic integrity requires you to cite all of your sources. Using sources without citing them is plagiarism, and plagiarism can bring severe penalties.

I can help you with citing sources and with APA style.

The best way to reach me is to email betsywil@umich.edu.

I look forward to hearing from you!
