A Center that Helps You Work on Writing Northwest Missouri State University, like most colleges and universities, has a Writing Center. But not every student understands why. The Writing Center at Northwest offers free tutoring to all students, not only for English classes but across the curriculum.
Students can bring in an assignment or a paper in progress.
Tutors can help them to revise their draft by reading carefully and consulting dictionaries or handbooks when questions come up. With this kind of support student writers can polish their final copies so they are proud and satisfied with the work they have done. Sponsored by the English Department, Northwest's Writing Center is temporarily housed in Wells Hall, next to the Talent Development Center. Although the TDC will be moving to their new location on the refurbished second floor of the Administration Building, the Writing Center will continue to operate from Wells throughout this semester. When Colden Hall reopens next year, the Writing Center will be in the same building with the English Department again.
