Are you having trouble getting started on your paper? Do you have a lot of ideas, but need help figuring out how to turn them into an essay? Or maybe you’re just totally confused as to where to begin, or you need a push to keep you from procrastinating until the last minute. WEST, the Writing Excellence Studio at Tech, is here to help! On Thursday, 4/7, we will be leading a dead hour workshop on pre-writing strategies. We will talk about brainstorming, organizing your thoughts, motivating yourself to write, and all manner of other things that will help you from panicking when it’s the night before the paper is due and you haven’t begun to write. The workshop will be in Henderson Hall 304B, from 11:00-11:50. No registration is required, and all are welcome! For more information, contact Dr. Brian Williams (bjwilliams@tntech.edu).

Book Orders due March 25, 2022 for Summer and Fall
We wanted to let everyone know AIP (Adoptions and Insights Portal) is now up and running. You can submit Summer and Fall book orders through the portal. Remember if you are teaching classes in both Summer and Fall you will need to put book orders in both terms. Book orders are due Friday, March 25.
If you are using the same book as this spring, the term may not being showing as an option to choose books. This is in the process of being fixed. In the meantime, if you used the book in another semester, you can choose that term or you can type in the ISBN. Either option works.
If you have any questions please reach out to the Bookstore.
