Drop-in Tutoring
No
appointment is necessary to get help with your reading and writing assignments.
Just drop in during our convenient hours and a tutor will be available to assist
you. To make the most of your tutoring session, read our
Tips for a Successful Tutoring Session.
The WRAC Center services support reading and
writing in all disciplines. Students can not only get assistance with English
assignments, but also any reading and/or writing in other subjects. We support
a wide-variety of all campus disciplines ranging from History to Early Childhood
Development!
Tutors are trained to offer support in
all areas of reading and writing, including:
-
comprehension of material
-
reading
strategies
-
understanding an
instructor's assignment
-
brainstorming and generating ideas for
a paper
-
strategies for editing and
proofreading
-
evaluating evidence to support
your points
-
identifying ideas in a writing
that might be unclear
-
all aspects of the writing process:
from starting the process to feedback on a draft
Because ours is an instructional support program,
not a proofreading and editing service, we cannot proofread or edit your
papers, nor can we correct the grammar. Our goal (the WRAC
Center in conjunction with the English Department) is to enable you to become
an independent writer, capable of self-correction. So, we can
make suggestions to help you develop skills for proofreading and
editing.
The WRAC Center also provides a number of
other resources. Various handouts are available as a take-home resource.
Handout subjects include MLA format, summaries, plagiarism, quoting,
introductions, brainstorming, and other reading and writing topics.
Writing Handbooks, dictionaries, textbooks, and readers are also available for
use within the WRAC Center.
Please visit the center to take
advantage of these FREE resources!
