Please recommend us to students that you feel would benefit from additional one-on-one discussions of their writing or from instruction in grammar and mechanics. Many students come in on their own, but often your recommendation will convince them to seek our help. We will send you a feedback form every time a student from your class visits us.

In past semesters, instructors have incorporated the Writing Center into their courses in various other ways as well:

• by requiring a visit to the Center by some or all of their students during the process of writing course papers.
• by having a Writing Center tutor come to class to discuss the Center (for about 5 minutes)
• by having the Center customize a longer presentation or workshop for a class. Some mini-workshops presented in past semesters include
  • MLA and APA format for documenting research
  • focusing a topic of interest
  • using the library
  • evaluating WWW sources
  • integrating personal narrative in the analytic paper
  • plagiarism and how to avoid it
  • commas and semicolons
  • organizing and outlining

We encourage you to send the Center a copy of your syllabus or major writing assignments, so that we may better advise your students. (Feel free to send a hard copy to CM 883 or to email the Center with the URL of your online syllabus.) Email Lynn Rudloff with questions or call (448-8659).
