The Writing Lab

It doesn't matter if you need to write a response paper for IP or a senior thesis in economics; the Writing Lab can help. The Writing Lab tutors can help at any stage in the writing process - brainstorming, organization, drafts, and final editing. They will work with you to improve your writing, not just your paper.

Some Misconceptions about Writing Tutors

Tutors are just proofreaders.

  •    Not exactly. Tutors improve writers, not papers.

    • Tutoring takes lots of time.

  •    Wrong again. One or two good sessions with a tutor makes writing a paper uses time more efficiently.

    • This paper has to be finished before I can get help.

  •    Tutors can help during the writing process - from brainstorming to final draft.

    • Tutoring is for poor writers only.

  •    A tutoring session can help even the most skilled writer clarify ideas.

    • Where and When Can You Find Us?

    The Writing Lab is located in the basement of Runyan Center, room 30, near the rear entrance of Runyan Center.

    It is open Sunday afternoons from 2-5, and Sunday through Thursday nights, 8:00-11:00. You can reserve a time by using the sign-up sheet on the door.
