THE MT. SAC WRITING CENTER OFFERS 3 MAIN STUDENT SERVICES:TUTORING
WORKSHOPS
COMPUTER LAB
PART I--TUTORING: The Writing Center's tutoring service is available to any Mt. SAC student working on a writing assignment from any course. During tutorials, tutors can help students improve their writing skills by focusing on "global issues" such as strengthening their thesis statements, developing their sentence style, and clarifying their ideas, among other concepts. Our mission is to help students become better writers.
In order to dispel any misconceptions (or student fantasies!) about tutoring, we must be clear that we are not an editing service. We do not help students if we edit their papers for them. We do help by reviewing students' papers with them paragraph by paragraph, utilizing our 50+ handouts, and consulting grammar and documentation handbooks to show students options for revision.
Students using the Writing Center (or WC, for short) should come 5 minutes early for their appointments to fill out a goldenrod colored DLA sheet (Directed Learning Activity). Sounds complicated, but this form simply helps students to focus on the most important concepts they would like to work on during their 30 minute tutorials.
Coming next week . . . Part II: Workshops. In the meantime, happy tutoring!

For the book writer, rewrites, or even multiple rewrites, are simply a fact of the writing life, sort of like death and taxes. Some of our most lauded and/or bestselling authors have written, and rewritten, a work five, or six times or more. However, some writers take this willingness to rewrite too far.
