Additionally, the Graduate Writing Center is hosting four asynchronous workshop series this semester:
1) Verbal Intro Student Asynchronous Workshop
2) Written Intro Student Asynchronous Workshop
3) Verbal Practice Asynchronous Workshop
4) Written Practice Asynchronous WorkshopThe GRE is broken up into three sections: Verbal Reasoning, Analytical Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning. At the Writing Center, we help with the Verbal Reasoning and the Analytical Writing sections of the GRE. We have four (yes four!) helpful asynchronous GRE preparation workshops, namely the Verbal Intro, Written Intro, Verbal Practice, and Written Practice. In these workshops we will work to introduce you to GRE strategies, question types, organization, etc., as well as work with you to improve your ability to best respond to the GRE questions and prompts.
Asynchronous means that you can work through these workshops in your own space on your own time rather than having to sign up on our schedule. Our two intro workshops help you understand the format and style of the questions and prompts, while our two practice workshops help you utilize the strategies for completing the GRE exam. Working through all four of these workshops can help you feel more confident in your test-taking abilities and help you along the road of applying for and getting into your dream grad program!
If you'd like to work through these workshops with a tutor or if you have any questions after working through the asynchronous workshops, you can schedule an appointment on the Graduate Writing Center schedule.
*These workshops are in the beta-testing stage. If anything is inaccessible to you and your needs, please let us know at (801)-863-8936 or writingcenter@uvu.edu.
In collaboration with the UVU Math Lab, the Writing Center offers free Graduate Record Exam (GRE) prep workshops. A general description is provided below. We recommend participating in the practice sessions after attending the informational workshops.
Soliciting and receiving feedback on writing is a normal and valued part of the writing process. It models the collaborative work that takes place in academic and professional settings. All writers--emerging to advanced--can benefit from sharing their writing with careful, supportive readers.
