Writing Center

皇冠hg2020手机app下载 offers in-person and online tutoring support for writing assignments for any class and scholarship essays, program applications, resumés, and cover letters.

Tutors can help you understand assignments, brainstorm, outline, organize, develop, research, revise, cite, and use resources. Please bring the assignment sheet and any prewriting notes or draft (if you have one), and come prepared to collaborate.

Expect to talk about the assignment and your writing before a tutor looks at your draft. The goal is to help you become a better writer by discussing your ideas and your process. The earlier and more often you come to the Writing Center, the more the tutors can help.
