  • Discuss their writing process and learn strategies to write more effectively
  • Review returned papers to understand how to improve their written assignments
  • Work with an instructor on an ongoing basis to improve essay structure, paragraph development, sentence structure and style, grammar, and punctuation
  • Receive information on writing papers, book reviews, or other assignments
  • Get advice on how to use and document sources
  • Get help with English as a Second Language
  • Prepare for the Effective Writing Test by getting feedback on practice essays

Note that Writing Centre instructors will give general advice on papers being prepared for credit courses; however, they will not proofread student papers.
