Writing Center FAQs

- Introduction & Conclusion
Writing Center Consultants are here to help you become a better writer. Writing Center Consultants are not responsible for writing or rewriting your assignments for you to produce the best possible grade. We’re here to help, but, ultimately, you are responsible for the academic integrity of your work.
Writing Center Consultants encourage you to read through papers before bringing them to the Writing Center. Revising is a valuable skill, but it takes practice, which is why the Writing Center Consultants also encourage you to revise your work for better writing results and to increase your confidence. (Tip: Reading the paper out loud will help you to hear any mistakes in your writing.)
Writing Center Consultants will introduce free online sources that you can use to expand or strengthen knowledge about writing. Writing Center Consultants will give you one or two examples on how to revise your paper. You can then use these examples to find and edit the rest of the paper on your own. If time allows, you will be asked to demonstrate understanding to the Writing Center Consultants. If you are out of time, you can schedule another appointment to review your findings. Writing Center Consultants will explain what areas you can improve upon and teach you the editing skills to become a better writer.
Sometimes people experience writing anxiety, and that is okay. You are not alone. Writing Center Consultants are here to support and reassure you by using positive language/phrases to help you build confidence and focus on the task at hand.
Due to the timeframe of each appointment (30 minutes), Writing Center Consultants may not be able to address all the concerns they find in your paper. As a result, multiple appointments are highly recommended for assignments.
Expect at least a two-appointment method.
Appointment One: Revising
You and the Writing Center Consultant will go over high order concerns of your assignment. The Writing Center will provide examples on how to revise your paper. This will ensure that, over time, you will learn how to make corrections on your own based on the examples we show you. If you need to revise large portions of your paper, Writing Center Consultants will help you create an outline so you can effectively reorganize and complete your assignment. At the end of the appointment, you will be encouraged to make the necessary changes and sign up for a second appointment when said changes have been made.
Appointment Two: Editing
The Writing Center will place an emphasis on checking your assignment for clarity, grammar, and punctuation. If necessary, you may be encouraged to make additional appointments.
Tutoring FAQs
