Testimonials
Every year we ask writers to offer feedback on their experiences in the Writing Center. Here are some of their responses:
"My consultant cared and really helped me to get the paper well constructed. She took her time."
"[I]t is a really good way to get good ideas and make writing your paper a lot easier."
"I was afraid at first, but now I think I’ll go often. They really helped me with my paper. We went through it paragraph by paragraph."
"It’s not as scary as I thought."
"It is very comfortable to read your paper in front of the [consultants] and they help you get your ideas across, rather than giving you theirs.
"The experience is great. It really helped me in my writings and it will continue to help me in future writings because I learn so much from just coming here and letting someone else look at my paper."
"People at the writing center help you out […] and give you tips to write or correct your paper. A trip to the writing center is worthwhile because you will have a great chance to get a good grade.
"Go. It helped me recognize the gaps in my paper and gave me encouragement (not just to hit the delete button). I feel more confident that I can do well with this research.
"It’s a very pleasing experience and very, very, very helpful and I think everybody should take advantage of the Writing Center.
"The Writing Center has helped me where I am weakest — organization. They helped to fill in the gaps and teach me to do the same.
"They are really helpful and interested in your paper. They want to help you improve your writing skills and anything you may want to have a good paper.
"They are respectful, dedicated individuals who really do care about the writer versus just grammar! Awesome every time I come in!"
"The Writing Center can help everyone — even excellent writers. It doesn’t help you only for a certain paper, but it also teaches you valid principles."
"They provide an environment that is conducive to learning writing skills. My consultant helped me improve my paper greatly without changing the content. I feel like I am developing stronger writing skills that I can utilize independently."
