Writing Across the Curriculum
The program encourages the wide use of writing in courses across the entire curriculum.  Writing Intensive courses use writing as a means of learning course material and critical thinking skills, emphasize revision and consultation between faculty member and student, and teach students about the conventions of writing in a particular discipline.  For more information contact Dr. Theresa Adams

The Writing Lab

What is the Writing Lab?   The Writing Lab offers free assistance with writing projects for all courses.  Writing Lab tutors can assist you in all stages of the writing process, from talking with you about your ideas, to helping you organize them, to suggesting revisions of the way you present your thoughts.  The tutors, chosen for their strong writing abilities, have been trained to read and respond to your writing.  Because the tutors are your peers, they understand the struggles of writing.  Although they cannot give you all the answers to your writing problems, or spot all of your errors, they can make thoughtful suggestions.   Is the Lab just for English classes?   No.  Tutors are chosen from multiple academic areas, and since their training focuses on writing in all disciplines, tutors can help you with papers for any class.   What should I bring to the Lab?   You should bring your writing assignment and any books you used in writing the assignment.  If you have a draft of the paper, bring that as well.   Do I need an appointment?   You may schedule an appointment (call 592-5384 during regular Lab hours), but the Lab also works on a walk-in basis during all open hours.   Lower Level, Reeves Library Open Sunday-Thursday 6-10pm   Other questions or concerns?   Contact the faculty supervisor, Dr. Theresa Adams at adamst@westminster-mo.edu or 592-5218.
