The College values students' ability to think critically and to write clear, vigorous prose. The Writing Workshop assists in honing those skills by providing a staff of professional writers who assess each student's needs and implement individual tutorials. Generally, students establish regular, hour-long meetings with a particular writer to work on academic papers. Students may use the Workshop to learn to analyze assignments, generate and organize ideas, revise drafts, and polish their writing.
Special assistance is available for writing in science courses.
Staff writers also offer informal workshops in creative writing. The program is open to all students throughout their career at Bates. All Rights Reserved.
