Writing Center
Writing consultants are available to help students improve their critical thinking and rhetorical skills. Make an appointment by using NAVIGATE, stopping by the Writing Center/Tutoring Center, Stocker Hall, B-wing back hall. You can also contact Irene Skleres via email or call the Academic Success Center 440-964-4304.
The goal of the Writing Center is to help students become better critics of their writing, so they become more proficient at practicing the writing process, gathering, developing, and organizing their ideas.
When students attend a session, they should bring:
- A printout of the assignment
- A printout of notes or draft pertaining to the assignment
- Paper, pen/pencil, or a digital device (laptop, tablet, or smartphone) to take notes during the discussion
During the session, students should expect the consultant to help them understand how to respond critically and accurately to the essay and interpret and respond to peer commentary. Students do not need to have a draft for a consulting session. Revision takes time and thought, and the more time students allow for thoughts to develop, the more successful assignment the students will compose.
