Resources for Students

In addition to the handouts on the notice board, there are many handouts filed alphabetically in the Writing Center filing cabinets.

The Writing Center is equipped with computer facilities. Students are encouraged to bring their disks so that they may work on their papers with the Coach.

The Grammar Hotline can also be used to answer specific questions related to micro revision.

The Internet offers many helpful web sites that address many student concerns. The following sites are particularly helpful:
