Click on the images here to see a tool you can use to review and improve your writing. Be sure to use the resources listed below as well and feel free to come by the Learning Lab (hours to the right).
Your Instructor!
Your number one resource is your instructor. Meeting with your instructor during office hours will allow for the opportunity to learn the instructor’s preferences. It also communicates that your are serious about your class work and creates a stronger connection with the instructor.
Writing Center in the ASC
Mr. Lake works with students in the Academic Skills Center during scheduled times. He is full-time English faculty and cares immensely about student success. He understands the writing process and does an excellent job of determining how to best help you progress as a writer.
Purdue OWL
The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is available 24/7 at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/.
A Writer’s Reference
If you had to purchase A Writer’s Reference for class, use it! It is a great resource when you have grammar and formatting questions.
Peer Editors
Seek out classmates who understand the assignment and ask to exchange papers for revising and editing. Peer editors tend to focus on the issues that have been addressed in class and reinforce prior learning. In addition, peer editing gives you an opportunity to edit someone else’s work, which enhances self-editing skills as well.
