Writing Center Location:
- The Main Campus Writing Center is located in the lower level of Carlson Library (0130) across from the Learning Enhancement Center (LEC).
Writing Consultations:
The Writing Center provides support to writers within the University of Toledo community. We can help on ANY writing project!
Writing Consultants help by:
- discussing an assignment with the writer in order to encourage understanding and clarification of the writing task
- determining where writing can use improvement and how the writer can revise their work effectively
- generating ideas, notes, and outlines with the writer and helping the writer develop a plan for his/her project which is focused on a particular audience
- engaging a conversation with writers about their ideas and desires for their project
- asking questions that guide a writer to consider changes that will help them to communicate effectively
- offering explanation of the writing process and assisting students at all stages of that process
What can a writer do to make a visit to the Writing Center most productive?
- Bring a copy of the assignment
- Bring a draft of the paper/writing assignment
- Share with the tutor your goals for your session: grammar, argumentation, citation, support, etc.
- Come early in the process of writing so we can provide help before a writer becomes lost, stuck, or overwhelmed; longer and more complex assignments take more time to read and review so the writer should come to the Center at least a week in advance.
