<p>how do i find one? are there ones through the covel tutoring? i'd rather not have to pay..</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>yes, there are composition tutors during the night at covel. it is for free. you have to sign up ... drop ins are not guaranteed. they are not as good as your teacher though. i wrote a B- quality essay and they said it was just fine.</p>
<p>Office hours with your T/A! Track them down. Hunt with pitchfork. Schedule an appointment... Every T/A is different. I had one who was a Nazi about structure... as opposed to my Russian 25 professor who wasn't as anal but moreso about ideas and insight... of course I had the general ~5-paragraph structure but I had enough development... as opposed to my T/A who accepted clich</p>
<p>ook. this is for a fiat lux seminar. i just want someone to look over my paper</p>
<p>how do i sign up?</p>
<p>...fiat lux? is that not just based on attendance? and only 1 unit anyway?
just submit whatever you have =P</p>
<p>Basically what liyana said.</p>
<p>Wow. A paper for a fiat lux? That sucks.</p>
<p>hah fiat lux, so i had a 5 page paper for a fiat lux over the weekend and one for a history class.</p>
<p>history class preparation = reading over primary documents, 1 hour chat with TA, more brainstorming in class, then a few hours writing it.</p>
<p>fiat lux paper = stream of consciousness 30 minute deal</p>
<p>haha mine was on intellectual property</p>
<p>You know, reading the first post I was happy to see the OP wanted to make the paper as good as it could be, then disappointed to see replies saying "why bother?". Maybe you can get by with far less, but the short-term gain comes at a cost to you. Fiat Lux is the chance to take a small class taught by tenured faculty (unlike about 1/2 the instruction at UCLA which is delivered by temps). If you write a paper it may be one of the few times your entire college career that it is read by a full professor and not a TA. It's all what you make of it; is it an easy one-unit class or something special your frosh year?</p>
