  • Understanding the assignment
  • Brainstorming for ideas
  • Gathering research for your papers
  • Organizing and drafting your writing
  • Clarifying your points
  • Maintaining a focus in your writing
  • Organizing your thoughts and paragraphs
  • Developing your ideas through your research or examples
  • Learning how to proofread your own papers
  • Understanding particular grammatical problems in your writing
  • We are not an editing/proofreading service, and we will not write papers for you.

No appointment need be made, simply drop by with your paper or with your ideas. We'll help you do the rest. For your Writing Center visit:

  • Bring with you a copy of the assignment sheet.
  • Bring any writing you've done on the assignment, or notes you've taken.
  • Make sure you visit at least a day before the assignment is due (you want plenty of time to revise the piece if you need to).

The Writing Center can not guarantee full services to students dropping by the Center less than thirty minutes before closing.


Computer Use:
The Writing Center's facilities in 2031CM include 17 IBM-compatible computers for students to use in typing up their papers or researching topics. The computers include Microsoft Word and the Internet, and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. One computer is equipped for users with disabilities.


Assignment Creation and other Instructional Supports:
Not just for students anymore, the Writing Center can help everyone at Mott, including faculty and staff. Want to make sure your assignment is clear for your students before they ask questions? Need a second pair of eyes for your interoffice letter? Have one of our staff members help you clarify, organize and develop your ideas.

Advice for instructors and staff follows the same guidelines as with students. Appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Make sure to allot yourself plenty of time to get response and make changes as necessary.
