During these sessions, students work in collaboration with a tutor on their writing concerns. Given the time limitations of the typical 30-45 minute session, it is impossible to consider all the problems in a student paper. That is why at the beginning of each tutoring session, students and tutors set up the priorities based on the nature of a specific writing context. Typically, tutors start with the Higher Order Concerns such as understanding of the assignment, thesis/focus of the paper, organization, flow, and voice. Then they move on to address the Lower Order Concerns, i.e., grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, usage, and spelling. Tutoring sessions are not intended to produce impeccable papers; rather, the goal is to teach students to become more capable writers so that they can use this knowledge to bear in future papers. An assessment tool, the analytic rubric developed by the Writing Center tutors in collaboration with the Writing Center Coordinator, is being used during the tutorials to assess student writing. The scores on the rubric of those students who attend the Writing Center six or more times will be compared in order to obtain data regarding student learning outcomes. These data will also provide useful insights in regards to what other services must be designed to meet student individual needs.

Even though appointments are not required, for papers that have 10 or more pages, students are recommended to schedule a one- or one-hour and 30 minute appointments allowing them to spend more time with a tutor. Appointments are scheduled by phone or an e-mail sent to the Learning Center Manager.

The Online Writing Lab provides asynchronous online tutorial services primarily for students taking classes off the main campus; however, students who are enrolled and take classes at the Main Campus can also utilize this service.

This seminar focuses on basic sentence grammar skills. At the beginning and at the end of this seminar, students are required to take two pre- and post-assessment tests to determine if the seminar produced any impact on their learning. One of the diagnostic tests included into this seminar is the Test of Written Language (TOWL). Also, web-based pre- and post-assessments provided by the Pearson Publishing My Writing Lab are used in the 7-week Sentence Grammar seminar. The topics covered during this seminar include: 1) phrases, clauses, run-ons, and comma splices; 2) fragments; 3) subjects, verbs, and subject-verb agreement; 4) pronoun case, pronoun reference, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and point of view; and 5) combining sentences. This seminar is useful for any students who wish to refresh their knowledge of the basic sentence grammar skills, including English Language Learners (ELLs).
