Library offers help with writing for college

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Library will offer “Writing for College,” Wednesday, Aug. 21, and Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 4-5 p.m. The workshop is for students seeking academic writing success.

Middle school, high school, college freshman students and adults returning to school or transitioning from the military to the civilian workforce are encouraged to take this course. Preparing to write at the college level begins well before a student enters college. Most students are not ready for the rigors of academic writing, but with some insight, and a few tips, the journey from novice to expert is easier.

Author and Palomar College writing tutor Sarah Bates will explain how to improve existing skills and learn new ones.

The Aug. 21 class will teach students how to decipher confusing assignment instructions, how to write a simple essay and outline and which of the five academic writing formats applies to which courses.

The Sept. 18 meeting focuses on researching efficiently, how to recognize authentic facts and where to get help if needed. Students will receive a handout covering the information provided in the classes.

Registration for the courses is required. Participants should sign up at the front desk or call (760) 731-4650. For more information, contact April Smith, Librarian 1, Teen Services (760) 731-4653.

The library is located 124 S. Mission Road in Fallbrook.
