The Writing Center can help direct you to a wide variety of writing resources.
Our coaches do this primarily by listening to your perception of an assignment and your ideas about it, reading your writing if you have a draft, and brainstorming with you. One-on-one interaction between coaches and students has proven to be the most productive. So don't hesitate to come to the Writing Center for a walk-in session or, better-yet, to schedule a weekly appointment.
