The WritingCentercontinued from page 1Periodically, the Writing Center presents workshops on particular types ofwriting. This fall Mary Dickson and SteveNatale, chairperson of the LearningAssistance Center, led two workshopson writing the essay exam. With GretaWingate, an associate librarian, Maryoffered a four-part workshop on writingthe research paper. Additional workshops are planned for the springsemester.The Writing Center provides assistance to faculty as well as to theirstudents. Center staff members gladlywork with instructors in all curricula whouse writing in their courses, helpingthem to design writing assignments, toprepare their students to completethose assignments successfully, and toevaluate the responses to those assignments. The Center itself is a repositoryfor books and other materials aboutwriting instruction.To encourage faculty to visit theCenter, staff members have tried tomake it as inviting as possible. A brightblue bulletin board displays notices ofconferences and seminars. Shelves holdcurrent issues of a number of journalsabout writing. There are even somecomfortable chairs for reading. In thissetting a few weeks ago, faculty, staffand students who write poetry andfiction met to share pieces in progressand to talk about writing.The Writing Center was founded tosupport and nurture writing at BroomeCommunity College. To accomplishthese objectives, Center personnelsometimes venture outside its walls, intoclassrooms and computer writing labs.But the Center remains a place wherewriters gather - in a light-filled room.Tactics For Discovering, Developing,And Organizing IdeasA Short Glossary of Writing Terminologyfreewriting - the writer puts pen to paper and lets the ink flow without pausefor about ten minutes; he writes whatever enters his head and does not worryabout organizing or polishing his writing (blind writing is freewriting doneon the computer - with the monitor turned off)cubing - freewriting that explores a topic from six different perspectives:describing, comparing, associating, analyzing, applying, arguingbrainstorming - the writer quickly jots down his ideas; after reviewing hislist, he adds and discards items and determines the importance of itemsand the relationships among themclustering - the writer puts his topic in the center of a piece of paper andcircles it; around his topic he writes main ideas or central parts, circles themand connects them to the topic; around each main idea or central parthe clusters related facts, details, examples or ideasoutlining - a scratch outline is a rough list of the main points of an essay;topic and sentence outlines, which follow a conventional format of numberedand lettered headings and subheadings, are more formal than scratchoutlinesGeneralEducationInitiativeGeorge HigginbottomIn late November the College community endorsed a comprehensiveplan of General Education reform.Seven years in gestation the planintroduces major course and curricularchanges which will affect students inevery degree program.Beginning Fall 1988, all students willbe required to take designated generaleducation courses in english, humanities, and social science in addition totheir curriculum mandated courses inmathematics and science. The purposeof this more prescriptive approach is tostrengthen student intellectual and skilldevelopment in seven goal areaswhich the General Education planlegislates: oral discourse and writtencommunication, global perspective,civic competence, critical thinking,moral reasoning and judgment, scientific and technological understanding,and health and fitness.Complementing thi
