• We are a friendly, informal, nonjudgmental place for people (whether students, faculty, or community) to interact.
• We listen and talk to writers currently engaged in any writing project.
• We can advise you on many aspects of your writing, such as organization, addressing audience and purpose, adding detail and examples, and understanding the writing process itself.
• We can help you learn to correct your own grammar and punctuation errors, and provide you with handouts addressing common writing problems.
• We offer writing consultations in which you can work with a tutor on a one-to-one basis.
• We can show you how to conduct research, cite sources and avoid plagiarism.
• We can help you learn to compose on a computer. Our staff can show you how to cut and paste, how to spell-check, and how to set up an essay and a works cited page.
• We welcome novice computer users! We always have at least one lab tutor available to help you use standard Windows applications, Campus Pipeline, the Web, etc.
• We can show you how to use the Online Writing Lab. The OWL is specifically geared toward RSCC writing assignments, and provides many useful links as well as printable handouts of guidelines, ideas and student essay examples.
