JMC Learning Lab

Welcome! The JMC Learning Lab (North Case, 341) houses the JMC Writing Center and the JMC Math Center. The Writing Center is staffed by Madison students who are eager to support their peers with writing and reading strategies. The JMC Math Center (new as of spring 2024) is staffed by an MSU student majoring in math, statistics or major requiring upper-level math courses.

Spring 2024

JMC Writing Center

Faculty Director: Professor Melissa Fore

Writing Consultants:  Jordan Roebuck, Ellie Friedman, Belma Hodzic, Ryan Meister, Dea Taipi, Hannah Nassar

Mission:

The JMC Writing Consultants offer Madison students one-on-one peer assistance with a variety of writing tasks, from academic papers to personal statements and resumes. Consultants are junior and senior JMC students who understand the expectations of JMC professors and are able to help their peers at any stage of the writing process, including critical reading, brainstorming, organizing, writing, revising and editing. They are also available to help students individually on reading strategies for understanding and engaging with texts they will encounter in MC 111, MC 201, MC 202 and other courses.

Hours:

Writing Consultants are available from 7-10 p.m., Monday and Thursday and 4-10 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. You do not need to make an appointment. Consultants work with students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Location:

The JMC Writing Center is located in Room 341 Case, on the third floor, towards the north side staircase.

Materials needed:

· Bring a copy of the writing assignment, so the consultant can understand what is being asked of you and help brainstorm ideas.

· It’s helpful to bring a copy of your essay (in messy draft form, close to being finished and anything in between) on a laptop so that you can make notes and changes as you dialogue with the consultant.

· Printing out two hard copies is also helpful so that both consultant and writer can make notes on the draft.

· If you are coming to talk through class reading, please bring a copy of the text(s)
