Writing Center Workshop Series Presents:  Commas, Why Should We Care?


Are you unsure how to use commas correctly?  Do you put them in your paper when you need to breathe or avoid using them altogether?  Do your professors say, “Fix those comma splices,” but you don’t know what they are, where they are, or how to go about it?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please join us for a brief, interactive workshop about this important punctuation mark.  Learn the six main uses of commas, where to put them, and perhaps more importantly, where NOT to put them.  We’ll also discuss methods to identify comma splices in your paper and four ways to fix them.  Improve your editing skills in less than an hour.

When:  Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Where:  Brighton Campus – Building 9, Room 132
Time:  12:00 p.m. – 12:50 p.m.
Presenter:  Professor Terry Shamblin, Transitional Studies

Hope to see you there!
