Writing Lab
Photo by Dr. Devet
The Writing Lab, staffed by a faculty member and peer consultants, provides one-to-one assistance for every stage in the writing process for term papers, essays, letters, memos, or book reviews. Although consultants do not proofread papers, they do act as an audience listening to students' ideas and asking questions so that clients in the Writing Lab can make changes to their writing. In effect, the consultants work with the writers, not necessarily a piece of writing. Consultants also help clients review grammatical rules and principles of punctuation as well as the structure of sentences, paragraphs, and essays.
