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.
