Our mission
The goal of the Writing Center is to provide students with a positive writing experience. Our tutors will help your students with all steps of the writing process, including brainstorming and/or freewriting, organization, grammar, and documentation. Our tutors are not here to write papers for your students, but, instead, encourage them to think critically and develop their own ideas. We will also help students develop techniques to help improve their writing skills.
Please encourage your students to use the Writing Center in the following ways:
Include the Writing Center in your class syllabus
Simply copy and paste the following passage:
"The Writing Center is an academic support service available to all ASU students. Peer tutors helps experienced and inexperienced writers with all steps of the writing process. Tutors will help students review writing assignments in order to provide suggestions and recommendations about organization, paragraph development, grammar, documentation, etc.; however, tutor cannot edit papers. To learn more about their services, visit the Writing Center website at http://www.angelo.edu/dept/writing_center/. The Writing Center is located on the third floor of the Porter Henderson Library, Room C305."

Refer a Student
Access the electronic referral form here; you can use it to provide us with information about a specific student who needs help with writing. Providing us with the student's name, the class in which the student is enrolled, and a description of the student's writing issues allows us to better assist the student's needs.
Once we begin working with the student, you will receive an e-mailed report every time the student uses the Writing Center for your class. The report will cover the nature of the writing issue and the Writing Center tutor's work with that student.
Request a Tutor Talk
Tutors can also visit your classes. They will provide all necessary information regarding the Writing Center and its services. To request a tutor talk, e-mail Jeff Schonberg at jeffrey.schonberg@angelo.edu. Please include the days and times your class meets, the location, and preferred dates.
You may request a graduate assistant tutor to visit your class to assist you with your writing goals. Tutors can give a presentation about the writing process or they can help oversee peer writing workshops. For more information or to schedule this service, please contact Jeffrey Schonberg.
