Writing Center
Located within the Leckrone Academic Resource Center (LARC), the Writing Center offers face-to-face peer tutoring for students’ course writing. Writing tutors are available during weekdays in LARC/Benilde Hall, and in the evening and on weekends in the library. Online response to course writing is also available to students who do not have any classes at the Romeoville campus. (For online response, inquire at WritingCenter@lewisu.edu.)
The Writing Center offers assistance with:
- Generating and developing ideas
- Organizing and structuring content
- Revising
- Documenting and citing Sources
- Proofreading and editing
The writing tutors can help student writers at various levels of experience and at any stage of the writing process. The tutors will not correct or edit your writing; instead, they will ask you relevant questions about your work and discuss in detail the options and strategies available to you for making your writing more effective—in terms of content, organization, language use, and format style.
