The Writing Center at Massasoit Community College offers support for anyone in the college who wishes to discuss issues related to the processes of reading, writing, and study skills. Working with the World Language Center, the Writing Center also assists students for whom English is a foreign language. The Center provides course-specific tutoring for reading and writing courses and support for all reading and writing across the curriculum. Tutors focus on helping students to become more effective readers and writers; rather than "fixing" writing, tutors use strategies by which students can learn to revise and edit their writing themselves, and thus become effective, independent learners.
Writing Center tutors include professors, professional tutors, and peer tutors. In addition, a small number of computers are available for use in the reading and writing process, including writing of drafts, computer-assisted instruction, and internet research. Tutors are available by appointment and on a walk-in basis.
Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Writing Center offers workshops, discussion groups and conversation groups in addition to tutoring hours.
The Writing Center and World Language Center are part of The Academic Resource Center and located in the Student Center lower level (below the Library).
The Coordinator for The Writing Center and World Language Center is Nicole Clark Ramirez (x1975). |
