First-Year Writing Writing Center

Learning Communities / Department 199

Students can bring paper drafts to tutorials. However, there are many other writing and research tasks that are appropriate for a WC tutorial. We can assist you with:

• Understanding an assignment
• Finding scholarly sources (using appropriate search engines)
• Comprehending scholarly sources
• Navigating library resources
• Brainstorming
• Outlining
• Forming a thesis
• Generating topic sentences
• Writing organized and coherent summaries/responses/papers
• Using MLA/APA/Chicago Style citations
• Creating bibliographies/annotated bibliographies
• Revising
• Editing
• Checking for correct grammar
• Revising papers for final portfolios
• Writing cover letters for final portfolios

Note: You may bring writing tasks from any of your current classes, not just ENGL 101 or Department 199.

Note: Two or more of these tasks may be combined in order to ensure that the tutorial makes full use of the thirty-minute time slot.
