Weatherford College Writing Center

WEATHERFORD COLLEGE WRITING CENTER

The Writing Center, located on the upper floor of the Weatherford College Library in Room 1, is open to all students who need help with writing assignments of any kind. Before visiting the center, students are encouraged to seek help from the instructor who made the writing assignment. Tutors certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) are prepared to assist students with all parts of the writing task including assistance with reading as needed. Students should provide the tutor specific instructions for each writing assignment, preferably by presenting the written instructions from their instructor. Writing Center staff also keep a file of handouts from instructors who prefer this method.


Handouts:

In addition to one-to-one consultations, the Writing Center also offers handouts that cover various writing topics. Tutors will also direct students to the best online sources for writing assistance including, Online Writing Lab.

Writing Center Procedures:
  • Students are encouraged to drop in at the center whenever tutors are available; appointments are not necessary, and there is no limit to the number of visits a student can make. Tutors will arrange time usage based on demand.
  • Both students and tutors will be required to sign in so that accurate records can be kept. Instructors who require proof of students visits may request a paper copy or a record from our sign-in system Tutortrac.
  • Students will also be expected to bring all materials needed for a particular task. If a writing/reading assignment requires analysis, the material to be analyzed must be available to the tutor, and the students should have read and annotated the work beforehand, unless you needing help with reading.
  • All tutors will strongly encourage students to consult the instructor making their assignment as an integral part of the tutoring cycle.
  • Students should understand that tutors may consult with the instructor making the assignment in order to provide the most effective assistance.
  • Students will be asked to respond to a Writing Center Evaluation as often as deemed helpful.

Referring Students to the Writing Center:

Writing Center staff members have prepared a Referral Form for instructor use in sending students for tutoring; the form is not required but may be helpful in focusing on specific student needs.
