As a student, you will write not only in your communications courses but also in each of your general education courses. Your writing assignments will include book reviews, critiques, article or chapter summaries, short papers, and research papers. The Writing Center staff encourage you to visit the Center and confer with a tutor about your writing ssignments. You may discuss your paper's structure and development, grammar and usage, or documentation details. To get the most from your conference, you should prepare a list of questions to discuss with a tutor.
Sample questions follow.
Be sure to have your conference early enough to allow time for revision. During the 1998-99 academic year, Center staff read and evaluated 3,881 papers for TCC instructors. The paper has focus and presents a thesis. Sentence structure is generally competent and clear. Errors in sentence structure, usage, and mechanics do not interfere with the writer's ability to communicate.
