What is a Writing Center and how can it help me?

The Writing Center is a place where students can develop their writing and critical thinking skills. This often occurs through discussion about their assignments, peer tutoring, and effective study skills. The Writing Center offers these services at no charge to 爆料TV students. The Writing Center is a place where students can get help on writing assignments for any class that includes writing as a part of the course work, and we provide assistance on all stages of the writing process, from brainstorming to revising.

Will the Writing Center proofread my paper?

It can be frustrating for students who mistake the Writing Center for a paper 鈥渇ix-it shop鈥� not to get the help they expect when they sit down with a tutor. Remember that the revision process is a stage of the writing process, just like brainstorming and drafting. If a tutor did any stage of this process for you, it would no longer be your work; this amounts to plagiarism. The Writing Center can provide a student with valuable advice about writing, but we cannot do the revision work for you. It is ultimately your responsibility to produce the best work you can.

A tutoring session works best if you plan ahead and bring specific issues you want the tutor to address. If you are focused in the revision process, try to complete this stage on your own, and any roadblocks you encounter would be good issues to bring up in a tutoring session. When you sit down with a tutor, avoid statements like 鈥淚 need help with grammar鈥� or 鈥淚 just need a proof.鈥� Instead, statements like 鈥淚 need help identifying comma splices鈥� or 鈥淢y instructor requires MLA formatting. Have I done this correctly?鈥� are more effective.
