Resources
The Writing Center provides a variety of
services to assist your student writers:
One-to-One Consultations
As a writer yourself, you
already know about the benefits of peer review and naturally include
peer review in your writing process. The Writing Center can help your
students develop the same habits. One way to encourage your students to
take advantage of our services is to include a blurb about the Writing
Center in your syllabus.
