Our GoalOur goal at the Writing Center is to help students become better writers.
In addition to assisting with the individual paper, we try to focus on the writing process as a whole.To that end, we provide suggestions for improvement rather than detailed edits.
Things to keep in mind
We assist with all aspects of the writing process from brainstorming and outlining to grammar and format.
We assist with writing projects from all subjects and even personal projects.
How our sessions work
We focus on the broader concerns first, such as the topic and organization of the essay.
Next, we focus on how the main points and arguments are structured in the paragraphs.
After addressing those issues, we focus on grammar, citations, and other smaller issues.
What to expect when you come in
When you come in, you will be greeted by our front desk staff and assisted with signing in.
After signing in, you will be directed to work with a tutor.As the session ends, our tutors typically leave students with a list of improvements they can make on their own and give the students a sheet to serve as a notification for their instructor.
What to expect when you submit online
Students are able to email their papers to the Writing Center email.
A tutor will reply within two business days.
Included in the reply will be a copy of the paper with comments attached and a form with more general notes which can be forwarded to the instructor as notification of your visit.
Tips for using the Writing Center effectively
Allow yourself plenty of time for a visit. Most in-person sessions last between thirty and forty-five minutes and most online submissions will take at least one business day.
Save any comments made on your paper to make revisions easier later.
Include an assignment sheet to give us a better idea of what your instructor is looking for.
