Menu York College of Pennsylvania IN THIS SECTION Home About Us Offices and Departments Student Success WRITING CENTER Your voice matters. Writing essays, designing websites, giving presentations--college students from all majors are constantly composing. All these forms of writing are vital ways in which students learn, share what they've learned, and develop their communication skills as future professionals. The Writing Center supports how all forms of writing are taught and learned at York College. We seek to provide space, services, and programming to cultivate a community of writers across the campus and work to encourage both students and tutors to continually grow as writers. Make An Appointment Writing Resources Write Here. Write Now. WHAT WE DO Writing help for students and faculty Students What we do for students We offer individual consultations for student writers on their work-in-progress, workshops, and quiet space to get your writing done. In-Person Tutoring We believe that all writers benefit from talking to someone about their writing. Our highly trained staff can help with generating ideas, organizing your draft, revising based on instructor feedback, refining sentences and editing for clarity, editing a visual design, properly formatting citations, or providing other feedback you need. Tutors don’t do your writing or editing for you; tutors work alongside you to help you write the best paper you can. We’re here to coach you, and we hope you will be able to use what you learn with us in your future writing. In-person tutoring takes place in HUM 11. Appointments are 30 or 60 minutes. Zoom Tutoring You also have the option to have a virtual meeting with a tutor to discuss your writing. For an effective Zoom session, make sure you upload your draft or share a Google document of your assignment and assignment prompt before your appointment, have a reliable internet connection, are located somewhere quiet, and have a device with a microphone and, if possible a camera. Appointments are 30 or 60 minutes. Drop-Off Essay Review Our Drop-Off Essay Review service allows you to upload a copy of an assignment and receive feedback from a tutor to help you revise. Just like our in-person services, Drop-Off Essay Review is not an editing service, so tutors will not correct your paper. Instead, they will provide questions and suggestions to help you make changes to your own writing. For Drop-Off Essay Review, you will upload a copy of your draft AND your assignment sheet on your appointment form. By 9 p.m. the day of your appointment, you will receive an email with feedback from the tutor. You can access this feedback anytime after it is returned by viewing your appointment on Spartan Learning Services. Students may have up to three online appointments per week.
