We also offergroup workshops, which cover topics such as brainstorming,developing and organizing ideas, writing thesisstatements, analyzing texts, using proper punctuation,writing research papers, and researching in general.Our purpose is to help students become stronger and moreindependent writers. However, the responsibility of makingchanges rests with students. During a tutoring session, tutorshelp students focus on their essay content while involvingthem in the learning process by having them reflect on theirown work. When tutors read students’ essays, they primarilytake a holistic approach by first concentrating on thesis development,paragraph structure, overall essay clarity, closereading of the text (if applicable), and then review grammar/syntax/punctuationerror patterns. Tutors do not proofread;instead they patiently guide students through the writingprocess, offering detailed advice and explanations onthe essay structure and grammar.Because students are our priority, we open early in themorning and close late at night. The Writing Center alsooffers grammar support programs, which aid students instrengthening their grammar skills.Since the Writing Center is a free and helpful campus resource,it is highly recommended that students visit at leastonce a week.
