Since many of the projects or papers assigned to students contain a component for research, writing, and production or dissemination that involves information technology, providing a single location for students to receive help with all the components of an assignment will enhance student learning in these areas.
Appropriate referrals to more in-depth assistance available through Academic Technology and Computing Services and the University Library will be provided to those whose projects require assistance beyond the current offerings available through the Center.
