writing assistance
Need some help writing your paper or research report?
Our Writing Consultants can work with you!
What you can expect from our Writing Consultants:
 

• We will help you learn how to identify and correct grammatical mistakes, punctuation errors, and flaws in the logical progression of your ideas.

• We will review strategies for proofreading and editing your final drafts, but we will not edit or proof read papers for you.

• We do not permit papers to be dropped off for revision/editing.

• We want to encourage your voice to clearly emerge in your writing and it is imperative that the paper be reflective of your words, your thoughts, and your ideas.

• Good writing is a process that takes time and our goal is to provide you with an opportunity to work with a variety of consultants throughout the semester on an ongoing basis in order to develop, strengthen, and refine your individual writing skills.

• You can expect us to provide you with the critical/creative space to develop your own ideas, arguments and style of expression.

• Don’t think of us as a ‘quick fix’ for your writing problems, but as a personal trainer who supervises your efforts to become a better, stronger, and more confident writer.
