Testimonials

It was a joy having Josh as my writing assistant. He has a very kind and approachable demeanor. I felt very at ease asking questions without feeling intimidated. As a non-traditional student, being helped by someone who understands returning back to school can be scary. Kudos to Josh! ”

I found the person who helped me extraordinarily knowledgeable and helpful. Her attitude and skills at providing specific points and feedback were spot on. I think my paper was better because of my appointment. ”

The person I worked with was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and gave me great insight and helped improve my research paper. I should have come here a long time ago. ”

This is hands down one the best programs offered. You all are incredible. The only reason I won't return is that I am finished! Thank you for several years of help.”

Absolutely amazing team to help guide you through the process; felt very welcomed as a first time visitor.”

She was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the scholarship essay process. She helped me craft my essay in a way that will appeal to the scholarship committee and gave me tips on things I could add and change. I was very satisfied with my experience, and plan to return to the writing center and receive more help.”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with several graduate writing assistants and they have far exceeded my expectations. The graduate writing assistants are exceptionally knowledgeable and welcome the opportunity to educate me on the ever-evolving writing guidelines.  The Graduate Writing Center goes above and beyond to accommodate deadlines and to ensure that KSU graduate students excel with the written word.  In my opinion, I believe that the link and/or email to the Graduate Writing Center should be included on every graduate course syllabi, as this invaluable resource enhances the overall KSU experience and prepares us to accurately and effectively communicate far beyond our years at KSU.”

Thanks to the Graduate [Coaches] at the Writing Center my memorandums and research papers have been error-free and easy to read. I took a five-year break between undergraduate and graduate school and was nervous my writing would not keep up with my peers. The Writing Center has eased those worries with their kind words and helpful tips. They have assisted me in telling my stories in my own way.”

I applied for Graduate School fully aware the KSU MSCM program consisted mainly of writing research and self-reflection papers as part of the learning curriculum.  I recall the first time I set foot in the Writing Center. I was welcomed with enthusiasm. This warm welcome made me feel I was in a good place to assist me with my writing. The Writing Center coaches provided me with various writing sources to assist me as I prepared my drafts for their review. The more I wrote the better my writing became.  I owe the success of my writing development to KSU Writing Center.”

The Writing Center is one of the most wonderful services KSU can provide. As in international student having their patience, support, and intelligence made a big difference in my academic performance and emotional adjustment to a very new setting. Working with them means having better grades and learning, in a very personalized way, more adequate ways to use English as a second or third language.”

The Graduate Writing Center is a great resource. Entering graduate school after being out of school for over 13 years, the writing center bridged that gap. As a nurse we are trained to document in shorthand.  As a graduate student, I have to know how to write complete grammatically APA formatted sentences.  The Writing Center is very helpful and resourceful to help you with Scholarly papers.”
