The Writing Center: Announcements
We
are currently staffing the Writing Center, and times will be announced
through SCOOP. If you need
assistance with writing before we open for fall, please contact Dr.
Mitchell at 6225.
Schedule Alert: Please note that on Monday and
Wednesday evenings from 7 until 8:20 there may be a few students from Math
121 using computers in the Writing Center during their class (their
classroom in 231 is not large enough to hold everybody during computer
activities). You may work
quietly on writing projects in the writing lab during this time.
Services
The
Writing Center offers a quiet computer lab where writing and
research projects are a priority. A classroom by day, it is open for
general use after 3 PM each day.
Wondering
what to write about? Wondering how to spot those comma splices? Let
our tutors help you help yourself.
Please
note that tutors do not edit, correct, or in any way write a student's
paper. Tutors love to read papers and ask questions to help draw out
better examples and reinforce logic. If a student is wondering how to
find information on MLA format, the tutor will point the way. While a
tutor may point out model errors and help a student to correct his or her
errors, our motto is this: "Let us help you help yourself."
In
addition to helping with papers, tutors help students review grammar and
usage. An instructor may
specify specific elements of grammar and usage for review, or you may visit
Dr. Mitchell (6225) for advice on how to set up a program of review for
your special needs. Any student
pursuing grammar review needs to own a copy of the college handbook, Diana
Hacker’s A Writer’s
Reference.
Tutors
We
employ peer tutors and also offered a professional writing specialist to
help you with your needs.
Students with special concerns with who want to discuss strategies
for success in writing should contact Dr. Mitchell at 6225 for an
appointment.
