ServicesTutorialsOur one-on-one, 50-minute tutorial is the primary service of the Writing Center. During the tutorial , you will meet with a trained and experienced writing consultant who will read your paper and discuss ways in which you can improve your writing. You can request that we focus on an area that you are concerned with, or you can let us determine the focus. We will typically focus on global issues first, such as audience awareness, organization, thesis, and development. If there is time, or if you make multiple appointments, we will also focus on sentence-level concerns, such as grammar, mechanics, word choice, etc. We welcome papers from all university courses, including English, business, communications, nursing, and engineering - to name a few. You can bring in essays, research papers, Master's theses, dissertations, technical writing, poetry, fiction or any other writing project from your academic or personal life. We will work with you one-on-one to help you improve your writing skills; however, there are some things we will not do:
